So... you know that there are alternative ways to gear up, you refuse to use them and you dont participate in content that would actually require you to have a high ilvl? You just want the gear to... have it, basically?

There will always be some form of slowing our gear progression down - for good reasons: People stay subbed longer (SE IS a buisness and they want to make money of this game, they're not your friend), people dont get burnt out as fast, it ensures that content still gets run weeks after its release and it keeps ilvl-requests in PF at a more reasonable level for a longer period of time (if you could just farm 390 at day one of the patch, what do you think people would put thier EX-primal runs at, mmh?).

Personally I prefer tomestones over RNG. And I actually sort of like the cap, because it allows me to gear up at a reasonable pace without feeling like I need to do more to keep up or to be able to join Ex-primal/Savage groups to begin with. It also gives a sense of (a very low form of) "accomplishment" for the week - weekly cap done? I can put a check-mark behind that on my to-do-list!

There are many ways to gear up a second or third job at the same time as your main - and after a few weeks you can get the set for the second, third, fourth job anyways. If you refuse to make use of those however...

May I also inform you that there is always a strong possibility that crafted and overmelded jewlery is actually BiS for a paladin? Its also worth noting that if you really care about your gear and stats you wont just blindly rush for tomestone-gear but check what substats all the gear that is in your reach offers to pick those with preferable substats (this might be my inner bard speaking - I wouldnt touch certain tomestone-pieces with a 10 feet pole...)

Bottomline: I see more reasons to keep the tomestone-cap than do away with it. This request comes up again and again and they have yet to take it into consideration - my personal guess would bethough that they did and just put it on the "Nope, not gonna do that"-pile.
