I think many people take "AF" to include af+1/2/relic gear etc., otherwise it is kinda moot for a lot of players due to the leveling speed of the game. They need to *finish* RUN and GEO, which means all that tasty class-specific merits/rme/af/relic/etc., they *need*.
I still regularly use my Scholar's Mortarboard and my Scholar's Gown (and Klimaform if you want to count that in), so anyone who says that AF1 is useless can go suck it.
It's not that its not useful at all, but rather that it's not something you constantly have on. While everyone has macro swap stuff, there is gear that you actually wear a lot more than others. Not that many AF/relic armors, especially for non-mages, still command a high level of use.
Even at their respective levels AF and relic armours were not full timed, they have always been macro pieces.
Arguably some of the AF1 and relic gears were completely useless. Some are still useful at 99 but you would never full time it(NIN AF1+1 body I think is an exception, haven't used NIN in awhile though so could be wrong)
Pieces of AF1+1 that I currently still have a use for:
NIN body, DNC head, body and legs, SCH body and head, WHM hands, BLU body.
