Wouldn't, then, the best way to facilitate that be to separate the two entirely and make gear that can only be used in either content, casual or hardcore? From what I read in the last 2 pages, you are not actually suggesting to separate the two or make them independent, but rather to just plainly put the latter more ahead of the prior, which doesn't solve the issue you point out, as it's still just one progression path - it just stops earlier for casuals.
