Yea, even without having all poetics gear, I don't see the point in the tomestones. Without the Carbontwine and Carboncoats to upgrade everything, there's no point in buying the Ironworks gear since you can literally buy equips from the NPC vendors in Ishgard that are only slightly worse, and after two levels, are better. Because of this Poetic tomestones have become even more worthless than Soldiery were, since Weathered gear was at least a good upgrade, (and really the best gear before you got WoD/Ironworks gear), compared to the best gear you could buy at the time, and all the "better" gear required quite a bit of grinding and praying to the RNG for your drop. As is, there's no use for Poetics post lvl 52 unless you're back using them for maps for alexes for a relic weapon.....
