What they should have done is price all relics the same across the board... Tier 1 costs 100 IC regardless of class, tier 2 250IC, tier 3 400IC etc... Maybe price the global relics at 2x the cost of class relics. Then limit relic purchases to 1 a week, maybe 2. That would have SLOWLY created a divide rather than throwing a huge chasm into the ranking right away. And it would have been more strategy as to which relics you bought first.
