In FF11 the relic you had continued to upgrade wich means for example the Excalibur sword could go all the way to 99. Same Sword could continue to evolve and develope with you wich makes things more personal and fun and not making it feel like whatever effort you put into this item made it useless due to the next one. I should not be comparing games because FF11 and FF14 are two different games but it wouldn't have hurt SE to continue the same path on the relic
But, it took years to get your relic in XI, and then it was made obsolete.
I wasn't around for the most recent couple of years but I know that it was a bit of heartbreak.

I agree that our gear (tomestones) inspires little pride because it will get cycled out soon enough, but XI, like all MMOS had it's flaws too.
