So what you are saying is that equipment shouldn't be a big part of an mmo to win battles? Then what would be the point of even entering a battle to obtain gear. And the only problems that I hear from people is that it gives inventory problems. When you reach that kind of problem, then you can try and see what gear choices to bring with you are worth it or not. On my Apoc DRK in xi, I carried around 78/80 at all times and that was not every set I could possibly use in every situation. So people that say "OMG I HAD TO CARRY 50 ITEMS FOR ONE JOB", I laugh at them, because those are the people that didn't seem to know what they were doing very well.
