You see its a balance and I for one think SE has done a fine job.
So why can't they stagger it a bit more so that if a non raider wants to have the same ilvl as the raid gears, they can wait until the content those raid gear comes from gets replaced with a new one? That's only when the former raid becomes relevant to them anyway (echo and all).
