That seems pretty cyclical either way, tho.

End-Gear being pointless is simply a consequence of it being rewarded from the hardest content. If the content already is the hardest there is, the gear attained from it can only serve to make this or easier content easier. It cannot be used for any harder content because it's already the hardest content there is. It can only be used on easier content or content of the same difficulty, which would drop equivalent gear.
