However, you must always figure out the the path of least resistance. The majority of people may simply get Mytho/Coil for 90, then jump to 100 with Soldiery and ignore crafted ilevel 90, no matter if they beat the 100 or not.

Min/maxer might be all over penta-melded ilevel 90s, but for the majority, that won't even register as a viable alternative.
If dps checks are tight in the later turns of new coil and hardcore people want to progress faster because they are hitting a brick wall due to dps checks they will invest in ilvl 90 melded gear to be able to get more 110 gear from coil faster.
