<Gear concepts that actual have serious problems.>

I'm sorry, but what you are describing is just as problematic as the current situation. A low level piece that stays BiS through out most of the game means that said piece is far to good and therefore the gear in that slot is imbalanced. Once you have that piece you have no need to get any other piece in that slot unless a new piece that is Better becomes available.

What there needs to be more of is actively performed content where max ilevel gear is not necessarily BiS or near-BiS and itemization for BiS is not the same. For example, BiS and near-BiS in FCoB is not the same a BiS and near-BiS for i80 Frontlines. Many BiS and near-BiS pieces in i80 Frontlines are not i130, but all FCoB BiS and near-BiS pieces are i130. This creates a situation where a player active in both sets of content ends up with multiple gear sets containing mostly different pieces.
