if you raid or join some EX parties, you will get a same ilv(or 5ilv less) weapon in few ten minutes...
and after 3 months, you go back to the beginning.

the current formula is a joke

A lot of people do relics for Glamour. Or to just have something to do. I'm on the 270 > 275 step for the PLD Anima, and the 260 Light step for WHM, and I'm doing them because of sheer boredom (and because the 270 PLD Anima is gorgeous). There are various reasons people enjoy grinding relics.

I did 3 of them to 275 when they were relevant. I've done 3 more since then for just Glamour. And to give me something else to do.

As for Savage weapons, not everyone wants to do Savage. The relics are there for the players that don't have any interest in the content, among many other reasons (mainly, a time sink).

That's fine if you don't understand. But don't say they're worthless when clearly they aren't. They become automatic BiS at their final step, give the non-raiders a nice weapon almost on par with Savage, and give players something to do if they want to. And they provide some beautiful Glamour options. My BRD, DRK, and AST relics are constantly used for Glamour. Same for my SCH relic.
