You seem to believe that difficulty = time spent, and not defeating hard content.

It is not difficult for me to sort out a giant bag of $1 & $2 coins, but it is difficult for me to get those coins to begin with.

Difficulty should be gauged on the skill required to get it, not the time/patience.

Ignoring XI comparisons now~

XIV "Relics" will be upgradable (confirmed unless the boss changes his mind).
"Legendary" weapons will exist (another stem from "Relics", either based on a different quest or an upgraded version of the relic).
As it is now, I can see Relic weapons as being the base item required for any Legendary weapon quest. Although they may not be the most iconic pieces in the game, when the servers finally close down in xxxx amount of years - I can see them being required for the questline for the future "Ultimate" weapons.

Should they be best in slot until that happens? Damn right they should. They are currently the most difficult to obtain at the moment, and with the word that they are upgradable - they should exceed Titan/Levi/Siren weapons..

Personally I would like to see a full armor set stem from primal fights along with weapons. This would give the current "best weapon in the game" holders a reason to do the new content.
