A Different Approach to Relics

[Shurrikhan]

A change like this would essentially force people into the "grindy" option (fresh uncapped currency) if they want to be able to purchase weekly-capped currency gear. With the assumption that you're talking about weekly-capped currency being spent on relic progress -or- gear.

The weekly-capped seasonal currency would only be spent on gear. The only use for the uncapped seasonal currency would be relic progress. The two are independent. It's literally in what you just quoted:

We could as easily make room for a currency used only for Relics by just using Poetics on everything but said Relics and our Weekly-capped gear purchases, likely with their cap raised to 9999. Voila, we're then free to start each season with a fresh weekly-capped amount (spent on neither-much-grind-nor-difficulty-required means of progression) and a fresh non-capped amount (spent on Relic progression).
