You're missing the point. The retention is supposed to be a form of "gear check" to bar players from expert blocks, or the level 80 content which so far has actual failure states that are reasonably attainable. The semantics between "got a +35 13* weapon" and "grinded a 13* weapon to +35" have zero functional difference between this check, so it should not be a factor of whether a player has access to level 80 or not.
