5. it slows down the pace of battle
1. This is where you have to judge which "macro pieces" are worth it to carry with you.
2. Why does this matter? I guess for an aesthetic feel that has nothing to do with battle mechanics.
3. What's wrong with people wanting to enhance their damage etc.? And if you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Nobody is forcing you. And if you complain about it and don't do it, then you are like a fat person complaining about being fat yet you eat horribly and don't exercise.
4. Again, I don't see how this has anything to do with the situation. Whats the difference between choosing a gearset on a specific move, instead of choosing a gearset on a specific battle. It adds more depth to your abilities and skillful play.
5. If gear changes slow you down, then you are bad.
