Huh. I feel reasonably geared and all I did was world content.
I’m really not sure what you’re on about.

Go read the patch notes about the gearing upgrades.
" The basics of this system are simple: you’ll earn a new currency called Flightstones from just about anything you do— complete a world quest, kill a unique creature, run a Mythic Keystone dungeon, kill a raid boss, etc. You’ll also get items called Shadowflame Crests (or fragments of them), which come in four varieties from different content difficulty levels. Shadowflame Crests and their fragments will also come from a wide range of content, including outdoor gameplay, Mythic+ dungeons, and raids. You’ll be able to upgrade almost any item in Dragonflight: Season 2’s max-level gameplay ecosystem, whether it comes from a World Quest or a Heroic raid boss, by spending Flightstones and Shadowflame Crests."
I don’t see what you’re complaining about. 4 different levels of crests implies at least 4 different tracks which each have different max ilvls.
Launch 10.1 is better than launch 10.0 was relatively.

They said you will be able to upgrade world gear to higher levels. Then never said max ilvl

It’s the last line that’s confusing…they made it sound like you can upgrade any gear from any content, which I guess technically you can they just were vague about it.

Because it’s the only real reward structure the game provides, and it often feels bad when other players are going around crushing stuff in the world and you’re either moving slowly to get there or you’re done getting there in a few weeks.
It’s just a really tough place to be in from a designer perspective, I’d imagine. World content has to exist around instance rewards, so people who do higher end stuff can be detrimental to the experience of those that don’t. Either they design something too difficult to solo without instance gear, or people with instance gear go around making the world content frustrating to do for people who see it as their only form of content.
Think of stuff like rares or something. Feels bad when M+ champs and raiders go around nuking those things in a few seconds and your content ends at those rares. That always feels bad. But it also feels bad if they’re too hard and the rewards don’t reflect the difficulty.
Gear isn’t a compelling primary casual player reward because it can never be designed in a way that feels good for a casual player without feeling like less of a carrot for the instance player.
They really need to create some other avenue of interest for solo players. But IDK what that could be. My initial thought is housing, but that’s likely never going to happen. 
So until they figure that out, the game’s always going to feel bad for one demographic. Either we have stuff like titanforging world quests, AP, and emissary rewards that feels really good for world content players and horrible for instance players, or they create a system that feels good mostly for instance players that feels bad for world content players.

Seriously, one can get like max world content geared in like 2 weeks to a month depending on how casual they are… but then what’s the point of even logging on? If they think my time spent playing my way doesn’t deserve to be rewarded then they don’t deserve to be paid.

You can:
Farm gold
Farm mounts
Farm pets
Farm transmogs
Achievements
Pet battles
RP
Level alts
Gear alts
OR, you can try and do a mythic + or pvp
ok… i mean thats an option and you are free to do it. you might wanna try gw2. theres only 2 tiers of gear at max level but you still work for it. but once you got it, you got it and the game is huge on world content and its no sub
You just made a list of the most boring activities in the game. Besides the kast ones.

So… what do you wanna do at all with higher gear if you dont wanna do harder content?
Sounds like wow isn’t gonna please you at all then, and that is fine. Ppl grow outta games. They are never gonna give out max ilvl gear again for world content. It’s why I suggest gw2.
I would play GW2 but something is seriously off about the movement. I can’t stand it.
I think everyone should be on equal footing in world content and all that high level gear should only work in the content it was obtained from (otherwise it scales down).

A lot of ppl already complain about the mob lvl scaling and not feeling more powerful as they level up. I don’t think they will ever scale ppl down to a set power at max level
You can get full honor gear with 11k honor in day 1.
I thnk in 10.1 pvp gear can only be obtained from world pvp.
