Isn't that akin to the gear progression being too slow, and not too fast? Savage/Tome BiS is set for 2 major patches, so about 8 months. In a hypothetical extreme example, if everything could be farmed to the maximum day 1 and BiS could be acquired day 1, then that would be almost 8 months of no gear progression, meaning your BiS would be good for a full 2 major patches of content, and it wouldn't be an endless treadmill because you would complete said treadmill sooner. Now if gear progression slowed down, you would get BiS waaaay later, lets say on average 7 months into the tier as again a hypothetical extreme example. In this example, BiS would only be good for about a month before the next set comes out, putting you back on the treadmill.

(Disclaimer: i don't want completely farmable gear day 1, if you were thinking that XD)

In short, i'm not sure how your argument contends with increasing gear progression speed..
