I'm telling you that casual gear has and continues to scale. I'm sorry that you stopped playing before GoD. Maybe you should stop talking about a game whose workings you are no longer familiar with? I've shown casual advancement. Yes, there is a wall. Eventually. Just as raiders reach a wall. The wall for casuals is far beyond the gear required for any single group encounters and the vast majority of past raid encounters.
In the past there was casual advancement. In the present there is casual advancement. The difficulty of 54 man raids in EQ is vastly higher than any single group content in EQ. This is why the scale has remained where it is.
