Gear item level technically already satisfies this anyway (new gear with a raised item level cap is always being added nearly every month or two), so at the moment there is absolutely no reason to introduce a stat-boosting function beyond level cap, as the level cap will end up being raised in another twelve months or so anyway (the next expansion will probably be released sometime mid next year if SE's usual timeline is followed), thus making it completely redundant.
Don’t think you read what I wrote.
