It's not even the best gear...

A mix of that and High Allagan is the "best gear". For jobs like White Mage where the entire left side is practically High Allagan for best in slot, it's even less the case.

Either way, no self respecting coil group would take in a player with full 110 Soldiery gear and 0 High Allagan gear. And walking around in full soldiery gear is the opposite of "leet" lol...

TLDR: Who really cares about them giving away the welfare gear, they did it for 2.1 also. The real raiding gear still requires actually being good at the game.
