I'll bite on this one. The point is quite simple really; you're just deliberately ignoring all the other effects that gear scaling would have. You wouldn't just have lower damage, you would also have lower healing, lower health and lower threat generation. Couple those with a fight taking longer as a result and you have many many more chances to fail a dodge and it would be far harder to recover from them.

Except many of us are so experienced with AK/WP it doesn't matter if we have "uber gear or not." We're still going to most likely one shot it. My first time in AK was on my scholar in my artifact gear and white/pink jewelery. Three wipes and a completion. That was my first time doing AK. Trust me when I say the only challenge would be "Did I get paired up with competent players" If the answer is yes "Faceroll." if the answer is no "Leave Party." If I group with my FC buddies or my irl friends it's going to be a faceroll regardless.

It's better for dungeons to be designed with our existing gear in mind. Dungeons that do offer an extreme challenge WITH our current gear. Dungeons that as I become more experienced and get the gear from said dungeons what used to be an extreme challenge becomes something simple. To look back and think "Look how far I've come. This used to be hard but now it's nothing. I'm so much more powerful than what I first started here."
