As long as you keep working towards good gear and you keep your gear choices that are available to you intelligent no one would have a problem.

It's when people delibrately gimp themselves because they've got some weird idea into their heads that there is a problem.
Can you give me an example of intelligent gear? Most elitist/hardcore players I see have gear that cost millions of gil or requires a well-strategic alliance.
