And it isn't *that* bad. Certainly nowhere near the ridiculousness that was relic weapons in pre-aby FFXI.
So...speed is the excuse for poor design?

Also, what does XI have to do with anything? This isn't XI... you could compare to any game...and say it's not as "bad" as X... that is not a very good way to evaluate something... pick something that is worse and say "It could have been worse".
