Well then as a "veteran" I feel I need to inform you that not all the crafted, tomestone, Eureka or Omega gear is universally equally good for every class. Some classes suffer greatly if their gear doesn't have a lot of weight in certain stats. Never mind how incredibly expensive crafted gear can be so they're often just not an option for a new player. For a lot of people the 24 man loot is a legitimate upgrade, even if they raid. And just because something is higher ilvl doesn't always automatically mean it's better gear. Combat stats are more complex than that.
