It does serve a purpose - or two actually - to change around the tomestones on a regular basis.

First of all it makes sure people can't save up to buy the latest and greatest gear - they have to earn the new tomestone currency first.
Secondly it makes the older stuff easier to obtain after a change, since it will then be easier to obtain the needed tomestones.

Note that there are actually 4 types of tomestones in the game. Poetics for the old stuff now, and 3 types for level-cap gear. One of the types can't be earned anymore, but can be exchanged (at a lousy rate) for newer tomestones. That obsolete type will then be removed completely when the next tier is introduced.

But really, the only actual problem with them introducing new types of tomestones on a regular basis is that someone has to come up with a name for the new type - and that is a problem for the developers, not for us players
