All your points are exactly my point; while we were given a grand system with multiple paths to choose from, a horizontal gearing palette where lvl 5 pieces were sometimes still the best modifiers at lvl 75, etc. etc. This is a perfect example of the Illusion of Choice from SE. I hope if we get more choices, more customization bc I do agree with Kaurie's OP, but sadly the simplicity of the current FFXIV system caters to a wide audience, and I can't see changes happening anytime soon.
