If they make characters innate abilities stronger and give us passive things that requires us to swap so much gear then we could drop 90% of what we carry and only switch those 10% real vital items that would make a difference.

FFXI characters are extremely weak. If they give them innate powers to lessen the requirement for things like store tp for samurai, haste for ninja, evasion for thief, magic accuracy and power to blm, pet acuracy and power to bst/smn without having to gear for them it would allow players to get rid of a lot of stuff.
