I'm posting this stating I melded my first class after the gloves came out and I had them but I really don't see the outcry over them. I've yet to see a rotation that requires 398 cp over 395. Most of them are 388/391 cp still so the lose of 3 cp doesn't seem that bad to me and every time I mention it someone claims a friend of a friend has a rotation that uses all of the CP but never gets around to posting it. I'm can currently get 389 cp and I don't have cp on my off hand and don't have any melds on my boots but I do have the i55 accessories.

So I'll continue using the Ixali gloves since I have yet to see a reason not to use them. Melding the gloves would cost me ~280k * 8 vs the free gloves for doing the dailies.
