In addition to players coming into a brand new game and starting from scratch, there was no Party Finder, no ability for players to re-play or help each other with raid fights they'd cleared that week, the game in general had latency issues, players were not very good, and Twintania itself was bugged and taken down for a spell.
Labyrinth of the Ancients wasn't available right at launch, so a lot of players starting to raid Coil right off the bat went in with i70 Darklight gear, their relic weapon, and what little i90 myth gear they could muster up at the time, completely missing out on i80.
For comparison, the loot that dropped in 1st coil was i90.
