If the difficulty and time commitment are the same, I have no problems with the rewards being the same.

I've suggested it before (I think earlier in this thread, or possibly in another) that there is a fairly simple way to help fix this problem.

Prior to the raid game, there is a fairly consistant balance between greens, blues, and purples of the same ilevel. When level 60 arrives, the greens and blues stop increasing in ilevel at all, while the epics continue to increase. This is what creates the imbalance in the end game.

The solution? Add in some way for casual players to get equivalent ilevel greens and blues. They won't be equal to the epics (though it's possible that an ilevel 80 green might be better than ilevel 60 epic), but the will keep the progression that was there up to level 60, which will help many problems. The casuals will have some way to advance (assuming that these are given accessibility to casuals) and the pvp gear gap will lessen for people that can't raid.

Unfortunately, this won't really happen until the expansion, and then it might not even be fixed then, as the greens and blues may stop at ilevel 75, like the current ones generally stop at ilevel 65. This would still leave an imbalance as the current top purples are already ilevel 80 or so. Hopefully Blizzard will figure something out to help this imbalance or else these problems will again happen at level 70, with no hope for casuals until the next expansion.
