Considering you don't need the highest ilvl gear to clear the highest ilvl content, this entire issue is moot. You can effectively play all the jobs in the hardest content by gearing the job in the previous hardest content that has already had it's gear limit removed. I realize people are on a gear treadmill and think they must have the highest ilvl, but all that does is make content easier. It doesn't mean you can't do the content with a lower ilvl.
