    Back at 2.0 launch the tome gear and relic were equal in ilevel to the raid gear (i90). This led to complaints that there was no motivation to raid. In response SE bumped the raid weapon up to i95 and future sets of tome gear have required an upgrade item from the raids themselves in order to match their ilevel during progression patches.
    Since then we've rarely had other sources of max ilevel stuff. The first set of Ex primals gave i90 accessories in back 2.1 and the Diadem gave the possibility of i210 stuff in 3.1 although these were both catch-up patches as opposed to progression.

    Personally I would love to see max ilevel stuff coming from lots of activities. Add a PVP set, let people grind out max weapons and armour with PotD, let the improved Diadem drop high level stuff, let the relic weapon match the raid weapon earlier, ect.
    However it seems like SE doesn't want to devalue raids during a progression patch so we're unlikely to see things outside of catchup ones.
    (Alternatively they could try adding content equal in difficulty to raiding to drop equivalent ilevel stuff during progression. I've seen calls for difficult small group content so there is certainly an audience. )
