Gearing up is bad

I think it's fine. It's clear from a business perspective why it exists, but they want you to be playing for months, not just a couple of weeks.

Besides, gearing isn't even that important for like 80% of players. Just get full crafted gear and you are set until like 6.2

It's the mentality someone gets when they realize the pattern that the dev team has been using since HW, lol. Besides, after they homogenized classes to the point where many of them lose what's unique about them what would gear options do? Varied gear only works when you have varied builds. You are not going to come across a pld who can heal consistently or a brd who specializes in buffing the party so why make armor that breaks the mold? This is why I don't want to them to touch Puppetmaster. That was one of my favorite classes in XI due to how versatile they are, I don't want XIV's team to go full blu on my pup.
