Why are you claiming that alliance loot is a slight upgrade? For some players it's a massive upgrade. You need 335 ilvl to enter Ridorana but it drops 360 loot. That's a massive jump in ilvls. 25 ilvl gain is crazy high.

Even at ilvl 350 the 360 gear can be a huge upgrade if the 360 version has better itemisation than the 350.

Not all the tomestone gear is great for every class. Someone replacing 360 tomestone gear with 360 Ridorana gear can have the same effect as increasing ilvl if their class is very reliant on some stats and gets very little benefit from others.

Higher ilvl doesn't always mean better gear. I replaced my 370 boots with 360 from Ridorana because the huge chunk of crit I gained far outweighed the minor hp and mind gain from the 370.

I think you fail to see how giving priority for gear is fair because you don't know how combat stats work. Alliance gear isn't as insignificant as you think.
