I’d only agree with Relics being “the best” if they required the hardest content in the game to complete. Currently, they don’t, so they don’t need to be “the best”. As time consuming as relic steps can be, they still don’t take nearly the same amount of effort to do as clearing Savage raids do.

As for previous weapons being upgradable through expansion, I don’t have any issue with that. But it could pose a problem for those who haven’t been playing since launch and who haven’t done previous steps. As nerfed as the ARR relic is now, it can still be annoying waiting 20 years for that one FATE in your current book. So adjustments would probably have to be made if we were to shift to a design were prior relics are used for upgrades in new expansions.
