Is it time for relics to be the same ilevel as savage weapons?

[Maero]

One other aspect which may make some think..
Many players clear Savage before and without the weapon, so with this said both Relic and raiding weapons are nothing more then personal achievements i would think
So really does it matter that much if Relic (which could be argued is a longer grind) is the same Ilv?

I am not writing this to start arguements or a quotefest but words for thought

Let's assume the relics released with Stormblood's launch and were the equivalent ilvl as Savage weapons. During the two week delay between Omega Normal and Savage, the vast majority of raiders will grind it all out and thus, begin Savage with a ilvl 345 weapon. At this point, what purpose do the Lost Allagan or Genji equivalent serve? Both are rendered entirely obsolete. Don't think raiders would grind like that? People had various steps of the Anima done in days. Not to mention, with how much of a pushover Susano and Lakshmi were, people didn't have a whole lot to do after the story and many raiders tend to skip the MSQ and go back on an alt later.
