Relic Deltas - A critical look

I have an entire guild, actively have 50 playing every single day and over 3/4 of us spend at least 20 a month in the game. And right now, I have my entire guild, officers and all, ready to quit the game over this change. 
relics already increase a toon’s overall power and increases it every additional relic. Adding additional scaling is a stupid idea from the floor to the ceiling. Adding a new relic level? Great, but as it is they might as well toss mods out of the window and all interesting counter mechanics are going to be useless compared to “bigger number wins”
