Indication from devs was that these weapons were going to be worth getting, but no indication about whether or not their "worthiness" is applicable now or will have to wait for future patches/upgrades.
Considering that everything in tau so far has been released in stages I'd be willing to bet that your theory is the case.
If they wanted to be really evil they would read this thread and either select the most evil method of unlocking them or take the theory everyone says is too retarded to work and make that the secret to getting them.
Perhaps we should take note of the ways that relic weapons are made?
the last stages require ex items that are completely useless otherwise and various items that are semi expensive/require a crafter.
When an npc that reqests many items of value or an ex item appears in the .dat files we can investigate it if it doesnt already exist.
