Make relics have the same iLVL as the Raid weapons and released at the same time

No. If you want FFXI mechanics, go play FFXI. That's not this game, and that's not what relics should be in this game.

People really need to stop trying to jam FFXI's mechanics into this game. "This game should be FFXI-2" is exactly why Eureka was developed and why it sucks so bad.

I never mentioned anything about wanting this game to be exactly like FFXI so calm down. However this game does need improving in some ways which FFXI happened to do better. The Relic weapon system was one of them. Until the last few years where the game became excessively easy, Relic weapons were extremely rare to find. That's how they should be. Meant for only the most dedicated of players to obtain.

I suggest that the final requirement in obtaining the fully upgraded Relic for it to be BiS (on top of the crazy grinding) should be having to trade in the highest ilvl raid weapon, amongst other things. That way you wont be able to skip the toughest end game material.

Doing so will allow you to continuously work towards your relic after every patch and at the end, you will have a weapon that is far stronger than any other option because it will be the culmination of years worth of effort.
