People aren't so bizarrely backwards that they'd rather have an ilvl 1 piece than an ilvl 280 piece. The ones who complain about vertical progression will always complain about that, no matter what you do. Their opinion is irrelevant here.

And SE has put weapons and mounts on a super hard mode. Gordias. It was fine. They did a weapon and a minion on Midas. It was fine. People would have given up on PotD 200 too, if it was as hard as those; comparing to that is absurd.

If you're arguing that a weapon alone wouldn't be sufficient, of course it wouldn't be. I'm not saying that it would. There can and should be more than that. But what I am saying is, that assuming there's a weapon in the package, making it a +5ilvl one is strictly beneficial.

Aside from making the reward sexier to some subset of people, it also allows for only giving the weapon of the job you cleared on, which nudges people to go back and do it on other jobs if they do clear. You're not making 15 mounts or minions or glamour sets, but you can certainly do 15 weapons.
