Gotta say I am really unthrilled with the random augments too. Did some Skirmish 2 last night with my BF and decided to put my +1 stones in the armor; 2 of those stones which I bought with gil. 3 times in a row I had gotten the same lame augment with my +1s; Physical Damage Taken -1%. I know the +1s aren't as "powerful" as a +2, but to be able to get a crap augment like that with a +1 when I can get that with an NQ is just dumb. If you want it to be random fine, but at least tier the stones so that with a +2 stone you can get the lowest of the high end. This is why I haven't dropped 1M on the +2 stone; would be a total waste of gil.

Also, augmenting aside, I would like to say it was kind of lazy in design to reuse the armor models from the Furia sets.
