That would be the reason they have resisted putting them in so far (with the exception of GC gear).

Personally, I suspect that if they do go this route, initially it will just be stuff like "wear 2 pieces, get 10 Determination; wear 4 pieces, get 15 crit". It won't be for at least an expansion or two before we start seeing the really unique, powerful effects, like "wear 8 pieces, get 'Effect: 50% chance to parry all attacks from the front for 50% damage reduction'; or wear 10 pieces, get 'Effect: Fire IV and Blizzard IV can now be cast outside of Enochian'" type of stuff. I'm sure others can come up with other effects of power that would put the gear in the "have it or don't log in" category.
