    If the current gear in the game is greater then the gear to be released in the future, what is the point in trivializing content?

    Are you suggesting that people farm their Green WP/AK sets and stop there so that when the 2.1 content patch is released, the linear gear progression can be adhered to with no amount of trivialization to be able to take place?
    You're implying everyone is doing Coil and getting gear out of it.
    Most people are stuck in ilvl 70 gear and no group. For those people (who are the majority of endgame players), Crystal Tower will fill the gap (ilvl 80) and possibly make Coil more doable.
    Those people will get challenged by the 10 ilvl higher Crystal Tower, and the accessibility of DF makes it way more attractive than you think. It'll be "trivial" to those who got lucky with Allagan drops (I honestly doubt anyone is in full ilvl 90, though), but they're the minority. Releasing higher content than Coil would make it unnaccessible for almost everyone.

    We're also getting the hardmode dungeons, which we don't know what'll drop. So, after AK, CM, Prae and AK, we'll have three more dungeons, and finally Coil. The progression will get fixed up (no longer farm a ilvl 55 instance, jump to ilvl 90 Coil).

    No I never implied any such thing, I have been pretty clear to point out in great detail that not everyone is successfully getting lucky with coil drops.

    The rest of your post has been addressed several times over by multiple people and does not need further regurgitation.
