This is not entirely true. PoTime underwent a revamp 1 year after PoP was out, that is went item affixes such as "Strikethrough" "Avoidance" "Spell Shield" were added to potime, and many items were adjusted with additional focus effects. Before that revamp VT was still highly viable, especially for tanks because of superior AC on VT items. A guild would still be raiding VT to advance into P5 in potime. That is how it was on AK. Although you seem to hate PoP, TAKP will be implementing potime like this and you may end up enjoying PoP.

Hell even velious loot is relevant in PoP. Doze was on lock down for 10 years on AK.

Here's a post from Daldean/Darchon on TAKP boards about itemization and how Velious is still relevant.

AC is king during our timeline for tanks. There's a reason most tanks used Dozekar wrists until EPs, Dozekar shoulders until PoTime, AHR Mask until PoTime, Loyalist Shield until PoTime, AoW/Vulak Rings basically forever.

We didn't have any tank in Temerity replace both 30 AC rings cause the Cazic Thule/Rallos Zek ones never dropped and Quarm never died. The best geared tanks used AoW + TRC Rings with 30 AC each.
PoP = pinnacle of EQ.
