This has started in 4.3 and will likely continue - basically you can have a full set of gear equivalent in ilvl to what 24man gives you on day one of an odd-numbered patch (equal to tomestone, 10 behind augmented tomestone/raid)

About the only thing relevant from 24man is the weekly token for gear upgrades ... so if they really want to do something about people not giving a single care about 24man, let them fix what it drops before they fix how it drops.
It's still valid gear if you don't want to spend the gil.

And if you do try to get the gear, it can easily lock you out of other content as you spend the entire week just running the raid over and over, passing on the same items again and again. Not leaving time for anything else.
