Allowing Gear Change in Active Mode

[Zantetsuken]

The Class, Materia, Job, and Armory Systems have all created a very different environment from FFXI. Gear swapping, and especially weapon swapping in FFXIV wouldn't just be annoying but it could easily break the game. (remember, they are designing with PvP as well as PvE balance in mind)

The devs nixxed gear swapping in this game early on for a very good reasons. I should hope players would offer suggestions that facilitate and enhance Yoshi's vision for this game, rather than erode it with non-starters.

Indeed, this discussion was really over before it started since we already know what the devs think about it. GEAR SWAPPING MID-FIGHT SUCKS AND WON'T MAKE IT INTO THIS GAME.
