People seem to be missing the fact that they will very likely (and have already started) changing up the end game as it gets closer and closer to Heavensward.
They've already added Echo to most of the MSQ stuff, and Steps was already nerfed. It's likely they'll nerf it more once 3.0 launches.
People worried about item level are also missing the fact that there's dozens of ways they could correct these issues once the content is no longer 'current'. It could be as simple as adding various gear rewards to the post-50 MSQ rewards (since 'new' players will likely use that as part of leveling). They could modify the dungeons so they drop more than one item, and those items are level 90+ (like Snowcloak and others already do). They could do further nerfs and drop the item level.
Somewhere along the line they're going to change things and hand out some gear; especially considering they said current 130+ gear is only going to last you to "around 55."
If you're not ready for Heavensward at launch, don't buy it, and wait and see how they change things. Or you could actively work towards it now. If it's something you care about it's really not a difficult thing to do. On top of all the catch up mechanics in place, you have this wonderful forum here full of people who are willing to help knock out trials and dungeons if you but ask.
