Also - I don't understand why they don't flat out upgrade ALL the drops from outdated content. For example, you could exchange Ifrit Weapon Level 60 + 10k Grand Company Seal for a level 80 weapons, and upgrade it again for additional 20k GC Seal for level 90 weapons, and finally trade the Ifrit Weapon +2 with original level 60 weapon and 30k GC seal, for lvl 100 weapon. And make sure each has slightly different bonus, for example Ifrit weapon can have more STR overall on ALL his weapons for all jobs. Garuda can have more DEX or CRIT, Titan with VIT and Parry, etc.....

This will make Grand Company seals more relevant, at the same time let casual players to have level 100 weapon that are quite decent to do most content in the game. As well as making old outdated content somewhat desirable. They should also upgrade those lvl 80-90 accessories from Primal Extreme and make it to be 110, it will still be inferior compared to the poetic gears, but it makes outdated content suddenly become semi relevant again.
