I can certainly understand your feelings but putting gear behind an activity gives purpose for it to exist in the first place. I really don't want to be that guy that supports gating people out of the stuff they want access to...but there's really no way to give you what you want without making the raid worthless. They tried a system in year 1 with clan rewards where EVERYBODY got at least 1 piece of gear per week if a single team out of potentially a hundred people beat it. This made the raid practically worthless especially with fixed rolls. I know you likely aren't asking for a system as stupid as that was but I still think my point stands. If there were some fair compromise (I can't even imagine what would be fair in the first place) then i think it would be ok...but again it runs the possibility of some serious effort going to waste.
