You underestimate the RNG gods. I was particularly lucky in that I got three (3) ilvl60 upgrades the first time I ran AK (body, feet, ring). I know for a fact not all share the type of luck I had going from PLD AF to Hoplite pieces on their first, much less consecutive runs of AK as well as WP. Most folks end up having a bunch of tomes from their runs and end up having to get darklight gear. The lockout in that regard meets its goal of limiting distribution of gear from CT (those of you who clamored for "rare" gear to make you feel special got your wish, by the way) while not making darklight gear obsolete. You can leapfrog darklight with myth tome gear, but with the tome cap in place that would take significantly longer, and you will need something to hold you over.
