The point being made, if I understand correctly, was about another paradigm where rewards simply exist outside of content types and are accessible to anyone, with specific content having higher chances or being more efficient to get said rewards depending on the challenge, or other factors. Who's really entitled here? The players that'd like to access said rewards by their own means, or the competitive players that want to keep them exclusive to a smaller elite by gating them behind their harder content?
And what rewards are you specifically talking about? Gear with higher ilvl? Exclusive mounts?

As I mentioned before, your mindset doesn't make any sense because ff14 does provide alternative rewards when it comes to ilvl (which we can argue is the most needed, as mounts etc are basically cosmetic). People who aren't currently raiding can still get gears, either via tomestone or doing OC. Or if you want quicker catch up, go buy crafted gear from MB and upgrade them using tokens.

See, now while you aren't BiS, you can still tackle high end content as your ivl is sufficient.
