Honestly, I LIKE the fact Lost Relics are just a little harder to find now.
The addition of the Inventory System brought interest back to the game for A LOT of people. Some, because of the adventure and thrill of getting a new weapon. Others, because they wanted the best weapons out there. The Inventory System took tedious hours of leveling and killing enemies for quests, in to something relatively worth-while.
Why should getting Lost Relics be made easier? Its part of one of those very few challenges in this game at a high level to actually obtain a Lost Relic, and THAT is what keeps people interested - a challenge. If getting a Lost Relic becomes easier, then sooner or later, it will be the same case as with the weapons quest - EVERYBODY has the same weapons, and EVERYBODY becomes bored again.
Now, trading for Lost Relics would be a much better alternative. Say, for example:
Joe the Pirate wants to get himself a Masterwork Sabre. Joe already has a Lost Relic and a few very good Rare Weapons, but he has a preference for Sabres, and thus, wants a very good one. At the same time, James the Buccaneer is looking to get rid of his Masterwork Sabre, as he prefers guns over swords. So, James goes ahead and opens up an auction, with a starting price of 10,000 gold, and a buyout price of either 50,000 gold, or a Buccaneer's Blunderbuss, which just so happens to be Joe's Lost Relic. So, Joe gives James his Blunderbuss, and in exchange, gets his Masterwork Sabre.
