You are correct , however they were very different animals. Relics in XI were game changers. When a Samurai suddenly doubles his weapon skill damage and multiplies his weapon skill per minute exponentially it makes him pretty epic compared to everyone else , or in the case of DRK dps is off the charts and they become nearly unkillable. In ARR relics were the best weapons at many points , but Yoshi pretty much said he didn't like that and made them second class to raid weapons in most cases moving into HW. This wouldn't be a problem except it took more effort and time to construct an inferior weapon that was literally labeled for casuals. Doesn't that seem backwards? It may not change , but I for one hope it does.
