There's no real choice aspect in gear, you either have it or you don't. You can minmax stats, but thats only particularly valuable for one kind of content in the game, savage. You can actually do most content at the min ilvl, and that's generally when it's the funnest.

they could just give us materia for boosting stats or what have you, and all gear be glamour. We literally just had an expansion for where half of the levels you could use one set of shire armor. For alts you could use it all the way to 70, if you skipped the dungeons over doing level capped roulettes and other ways of exping.
Pretty much this. I've been saying it for a long time now: stats are so meaningless that you could remove them completely from gear and it wouldn't change much of anything. It would bring positives to the game, actually. The only real negative would be that plenty of people play only for gear despite now meaningless it is.
