Sure this screws over the "casual" crowd for a few months but I feel like they do release a decent amount of content to keep people busy in the meantime. I mean, hell, I just spent this entire new patch leveling Ninja. I've done nothing else besides: down t10, unlock expert roulette and get my NIN to 49. I'm looking forward to doing the rest of the content. Not all of it HAS to be about upgrading my current gear.
But that irrelevant, if they make a quest to upgrade Relic equal as the Ironwork, raider still can own the best weapon of the game in T13.

I am not saying they should make a quest to upgrade your relic form i115 to i130, but it would make sense for the i120 version. You really think DEV going to make the new upgrade easy? You can count another 2~4 week of work for the next upgrade.
