Add a unique stat to the new Relics, so they are worth obtaining. Enough is enough.

Now if you want to put a runic system in place where you can add your own traits to gear, that is a step in the right direction, but it has to be done right that would not break the system. At the same time however, that is hard for developers to balance out per gear patch or they could just rebalance the job itself to work like that.

In consideration with the state of the game, the content rehashes we are getting, etc, there's going to be a point where that excuse just won't sit anymore. It 's also in regards to "server limitations" for other features like cross-data center (esp for the small servers with dead raiding scenes) and better housing circumstances.

They could opt to put in secondary bonuses onto all weapons and not just relic. Of course people will still flock to whatever is BiS and outright exclude people for not having it, but this is already the case to begin with in regards to the very minimal horizontal gear progression we have, only it's not tangible in actual gameplay because all it really changes is numbers, combine that with an unchanging update of contents we get, it really feels like we're stuck in a rut for what we can potentially do in this game. The third option is just make the relic weapons have some sort of aesthetic value to it. To me, Armageddon isn't an different from a gordian gun or heavensfire, so why should I go above and beyond to option it? You could say it's upgradable, but it's essentially following the same concept of me acquiring another weapon from the next tier of raid. The game severely lacks ways of making your character feel empowered beyond reaching the level 60 cap, and it doesn't bide well if we aren't getting new content alongside that.
