So in other words I just got the "well, that's different..."

It's different because it's NMs that drop r30 gear? 99% of it you won't use endgame, and even then it's situational. No different than the gear from the 30 dungeons I'd imagine. That's why so few care if r50s could roll through it. Let them. They'd be farming temporary gear for the grind on another job. I really don't see what the big deal is. Let other people play how other people want to. It's not like this would somehow prevent you from choosing to do the content at a lower rank.
