WoW Legion uses FFXI style for relics but FFXIV does not?

[FizzleofHyperion]

Pretty much what the topic says.

Legions relics are very similiar to FFXI ways of obtaining relics now.
It seems to be a hard long path that actually is rewarding and the relic continues to grow with you. I'm not refering to currency wise but the path and ways of obtaining the relic and the time you must invest into getting one and the reward of obtaining it where it shows how you can distance yourself from the rest because of the time and dedication for your gaming.

How come in FFXIV we are still stuck with a method that Player B can always catch up with Player A on the relic with less time invested for a new chapter to get released again making the effort pretty useless after a while?

Certain things should have remained sacred in FFXIV especially when FFXI should have been the flagship model for the relic and not how every other mmorpg seems to do.
Shape the player don't adapt to them constantly.
There are ways of getting weapons that are almost as up to the same ilvl in the as a relic through a casual method.
Palace of the dead or if you have a good group for nidhogg ex.

The relic should have been a stone left unturned. It should have been a weapon that grew with you constantly instead of breaking it for a new chapter.
The relics from ARR and the time invested to obtaining thoese surely was a disappointment for all players who wanted to dedicate time to get them.
It was almost easier to obtain the 18 crystals needed for the HW relic than to actually make the ARR relic.
How do you explain that to the people that spent countless of hours to obtain this and gil?
That their weapon they worked so hard for was useless for the sake of a new expansion?
On top of that HW gave weapons equally good on the ilvl if not better almost mocking the playerbase that wanted to feel that they deserved that extra reward.

The relics should have been harder to obtain with the same circumstances for everyone no nerfs no handsouts and they should have never been given the feeling of beeing worthless after a certain time.

SAVE ALL THIS ISNT FFXI COMMENT AND THIS ISNT FFXI 2.0 most people are fedup with thoese replies.

People are asking for 1 thing to be sacred and remain untouched not a whole game. That can also show that FFXI had something right since Legion is following that example.

If there are still multiple paths to get weapons that are just as strong as a relic in lvl point of view why not leave that option available for everyone and let the actual relic be the sacred holy item that continues to grow with you regardless of what expansion/update?
It is really not that hard. For example now you can get the i240 lore weapon so it adds up to the relic so whats the point of making one thing thats more time consuming to obtain beeing so useless and worthless?

What are everyones thoughts about this?
