Yeah, pretty much. If they implemented a block on gear swaps, 90% of the current content would be broken due to mages being gimped, melee sucking ass, drops becoming worthless, etc.

Easiest thing they could do is add like 5 more gobbie bags. These porter moogles suck because they are not in your mog house (why does this even need to be a separate moogle?) and they organize gear in such a way that it requires you to look 10 different places (and have 10 slips) just to gear one friggin job. At least with sacks, you can hit 'auto-sort'. They really should come up with some method of combining gear so that you just get all the stats on one piece. Can't fit all the stats on one piece? Pick the weakest ones, remove them, and put them on the job naturally.

My favorite idea: 16 bags, all of which you can access through macros. Each one will only hold one specific item type ie. hands, feet, legs etc. You would call them like this: /headsack /equip head "versa helm". You would always have all your gear on you. Mog sack, Satchel etc, would only be used for consumables etc. Got over 80 head pieces? That is what the porter moogle is for (if you have 80+, surely you have a few that rarely see any use).
