Allow us to buy Sands of Time with Soldiery

Watch them come out with a ridiculous ilvl increase (130 or 140) just to invalidate i110.

Is it confirmed that the next set of coil will be the last major ilvl increase before the expansion? Because if it is, i wouldn't be surprised if they took that time to make a massive jump in ilvl to compensate for Hunts and to buy time for expansion release.

The next Coil will be the last coil, yes
In 2.5 will be the last CT and expansion pack maybe after 2.5

Then yeah ilvl 130-140 makes sense, and i assume entry level gear for new expansion content will likely be 150.

More like 100 - 125
Entry level gear = gear with you go into the content, not out of the content

And thats the frustrating thing everyone is getting upset about... Sand upgrading was never ment for non coil players, it was ment for an alternate methode to upgrade because in coil your job gear will probaply not drop for weeks, so you could upgrade with sand/oil if your job did not drop...well that was the original thing, but:

Q: Can you make it easier to obtain the materials to enhance items to item level 110?

A: This is referring to oil of time and sands of time, right? The development team has a plan outlining the timing with which these items would gradually spread from the top-tier of players, becoming easier to obtain with the introduction of new encounters. This plan is adjusted as we monitor player progression. Patch 2.3 will see the continuation of the Crystal Tower, and we plan to add oil of time and sands of times as rewards here. However, this doesn't mean there will be changes to their drop rate. Rather than making it possible to obtain everything right away, we’ll gradually add the items you can obtain in patch 2.3, 2.35, and 2.38.

Sands and Oil was only planned as a "Coil only" drop for 2.2, not for 2.3
