Relics coming to an end?

I'm pretty sure the new 51-59 or so dungeons won't have an ilvl cap so you can go in whatever gear you have at the moment. They'll also probably incorporate armor similar to relics so people can be relatively geared for the new 60 dungeons. I'm all for people doing old content but, it shouldn't be forced upon you if you're a new player. WoW locked content out in similar way in BC with no one way to advance unless you attuned yourself to old raids that no one wanted to do. They realized that was a mistake and allowed easier access to gear and items for new players. Requiring people to do old content before trying the new content creates artificial blocks since you can only group with newer players since the older players will all ready be head first in new content. Sure some players that put a ton of time into relics and coil will be upset by this but, its really for the greater good so that newer players can quickly join in with the older players in experiencing the new content. Now if they want to backtrack and do coil and relics all over again that's completely optional which it should be. You're suggesting that it should be mandatory for players to backtrack and that really turns off some perspective new players. Also the grind you made isn't completely useless. You'll have a weapon that most players won't have when 3.0 hits. You might not be able to keep your stat upgrades but, coil players won't be able to keep their Dreadwyrm weapons either since the 3.0 weapons that replaces the relics will have a much higher ilvl. So by allowing you to keep your relic upgradable you're also forcing endgame players or prospective endgame players to grind out relic weapons right now so they'll be ahead for 3.0 and, trust me if the do that you're going to see a lot of flame. They'll be way more complaining than on this current thread.
