Why is SE so afraid of Offering Raid iLVL Gear rewards?

It's just ridiculous at this point. The raid patch was released 4 months ago, who cares anymore if there are alternative ways to get gear? Why isn't Criterion dropping AT LEAST tier 1/2 iLVL equivalent accessories or Arns/Legs/Helm.

Espically with Ultimate around the corner, there should be even more alternative ways to grab some gear for off-job roles. But what do they offer instead? 1 glamour set and MATERIA as a reward.

It's a joke.
