Didn't realize needing money to support their free game was being "money hungry".

But anyway, one could argue that having those extra 61 relics in the drops tables would only serve to dilute all other rewards, especially the drops of newer frames and weapons that most players don't already have a million relics for.

Another argument could be that it positively stimulates the player trading economy; without valuable ingame items to sell besides rivens, the player-to-player flow of plat would me more stagnate.

Finally, it helps maintain the "prestige" of owning a Prime item, especially items from long ago, rather than just being so common place they become more of a "meh, I have 6 of those" than a "Ooo, shiny Mag Prime, I want one too".
