Something better than artemis bow seems ridiculous.
Welcome to the world of MMO's. In WoW, each expansion a legendary weapon came out that people sweat blood to obtain, then the next expansion came and they became out dated. It is a cruddy feeling, but that is what happens in a gear progressive game.

It is nice however they are making methods of upgrading them. Honestly, the relics can't be the most powerful forever. Do you not plan on ever getting a new weapon again? It is a fair balance however to keep them the most powerful, but you have to upgrade them again.

I love my Gae Bolg, but I will eventually see the next really cool spear I want with better stats.

We are not in a FFXI style gear system anymore, things are going to get outdated and new goals will be set every major patch. Your own opinion how you feel about it, but this seems to be the case in where the developers want to go with the game. My opinion is that I like it. I am actually not sure how I farmed Sky for over seven years in FFXI, I guess it "worked" for how that game was set up. Today I play a raid for less than six months and want the next thing, guess I am fallen into the basic MMO standards, but I find this method fun and always something new to look forward to.
