Enchanting system is horrible in this game.

OP, go play Aion, get to endgame and enchant and socket your gear, then get back to me on this system they have here.

Oh gods... that was soooo horrible! You get 3 stones in a 4 slot piece of gear.... and then you go for that last stone and BAM!!!!! You lose all of those bastards ; ; I hated AION's enchanting system... oh the rage! THE RAGE! FFXIV:ARR's is so nice and safe! I like the Materia system, I'm sure we'll see more customization out of it the more gear sets we eventually get. But I understand the whole not being able to stack certain stats, it would be nice.... but it's not the way it works.

EDIT:
Here is a video of how bad it was/is in AION hahaha.... THE RAGE!
