The only one moaning here is you.
If you want current gear, come and get it, no one is preventing you from it. But you won't get it for free. You'll have to learn your job and strats for it, like we all did. If you do what we all did, good on you, no one is going to care that you're geared.

Don't like the content? Then it, and the rewards tied for it, are not for you, simple as. Not being so obnoxiously entitled isn't that difficult.
No content in this game is gatekept as far as I know, people are completely free to choose to partake or not. Like I'm not going to get the Cerberus mount by choosing not to do DRS, or the Dragonsung tools by not wanting to bother with expert recipes, people who choose not to do Savage and play accordingly won't get their Eden weapon.

And for the nth time, this is FFXIV, this isn't WoW or any other MMO you've played before, the communities are not the same.
