Who is gonna raid now with the iLvl 110 gear handed to people??

They will do, especially when lockout for Coil will be removed. It was the same with Coil1 when a lot of ppl flocked in first after simple tactics for T1-T2 was invented and then, a lot more, when lockout was removed.

This kind of thinking leads to the conclusion that, "why get gear now when it'll be heavily nerfed later and that gear is much less important?".

1 full set (assuming 2 rings - 5040 soldiery) for whole 2.3, and you still need 3 more weeks to get a weapon. And a weapon for many is first priority where to spend sand.

You can't get two rings.

Chest / Pants = 825 * 2 = 1650
Gloves / Hat / Boots = 495 * 3 = 1485
Belt / Ring / Ear / Bracelet / Neck = 375 * 5 = 1875

Total: 5,010

450 soldiery a week * 12 weeks = 5,400

So +/- 900 still puts you at 1 full set for sure and close to a weapon.
