Why no MSQ gear equivalent for DoH/DoL?

If I saw it right the lvl 53 quest s give the new lvl 53 crafting and gathering gear.

But yeah i get your Point i'm still at getting all the mats i Need for my first crafting session but it already Looks like hell (and as it will only bring me to lvl 51 i have to do the whole Thing two more times before getting new Equipment.... oh well)

Ya I'm not even trying the 53 quest. I can barely hit 10-15% HQ on similar gear using HQ mats with my current gear (and I was able to get the 53 chest and boots thankfully pretty cheap), let alone dropping the 300k or so for all the holy water required (yes it goes for that much on my server) to more than likely fail the quest.

I've just been gil farming by selling the remire and rainbow cloth or bolls until i can just buy the HQ pieces and skip it.

But the logic of needing the 53 gear to complete the 53 quest to get 53 gear is also pretty backwards and problematic.
