Then why can't they just reset everyone's soldiery tomes the day of the patch so we start from 0? It still seems like a lot of unnecessary work for a couple of pieces of gear anyone can get on week 1 (and seeing as how this game is about working together, I'd never consider a party members with better gear than me anything but a welcomed help but hey that's me). Oooh he bought the chest and legs because he stacked soldiery and I didn't, big deal. I guess I must have spent it on something that I needed more so... I really don't see the problem.

Then you'll have people complain that they lost their soldiery ...

Not a big deal to you... but to some people this is huge. Empathy is the key here ...

What I read here is "I don't want to stack up on tomes so take away the tomes from those that do want to." How does that even make any sense at all? You get out of it what you put into it. You put in effort to cap tomes, you get more soldiery after the conversion and therefore more gear. As far as how quickly people gear up, I know I personally already have one class at i109 and am working on my alt classes now. There are times I want to do something different. The faster I can get them geared up, the faster they are usable and relevant in the new content.
