That's not the point I cited that as people will defend issues no matter what, and even so, at least post crap launch when Yoshi P took over, at least FFXIV 1.0 had some depth in it's stats and gear, more over so than just simplistic stats, at least gear wasn't boring as hell, with just one possible combination of the best which is what there is right now, 2.0 system is just so bare bones that even the profile page displays so much redundant and useless information, that much alone, tells you how they basically went back on their word that on a expansion the system would have a bit of depth but it din't, Are you a monk? well stack STR as a main stat, then Crit, Det got nerfed a bit so it's not as important anymore, but skill speed is, but doesn't change the fact that only one gear combination is good, the relic is pointless to have customization that you can add other stats or vitality, whatever you want to add it because it's pointless and sub-optimal, these are issues with the game and popular ones now that I have actually stopped to read what other people and comunities think and surprise surprise, they are my issues too.
