I'm positive that they will. Just the reintroduction of battle classes contributing to material supplies is going to make a huge difference, and on top of that we're getting another source of materials from Exploratory Missions. The largest problem with the i170/i180 gear in 3.0 was the scarcity of materials, and we should see them become much more readily available.

Looking forward to 3.2, we're going to have meaningful crafted battle gear again (and even better than we used to), so interest will be at an all time high.
