It wasn't worthless. melded i70 provided an excellent alternative to i90 on alt classes since myth cap and weekly lockouts WITH rng prevented you from just skipping right to i90. When it takes weeks to fill out one job, you need some alternative means to gear other jobs. Maybe not as well, but well enough to play in most content.. A fully melded i70 could clear most pre-2.2 content. (maybe not T4 and T5, but everything else).

Now myth is uncapped, but guess what, we got another cap, Soldiery. Coils 6-9 will also sport lockouts. So yes, the soldiery and coil 6-9 will be the new best gear, but it takes weeks to acquire for one job. In the mean time, the new saurean, cashmere, wolfram will be good alternatives to gearing all the other jobs in between.
