Legitimate reasons why many of you do NOT like Gear Swapping

[illriginalized]

I love you Wynn, you bastard. Why did you leave me?!?!




So now it's "if you don't understand that my way is superior, you must be an idiot that can't understand simple mathematics at all"?

But yeah no, you're totally helping your cause by insulting people who don't feel the need to parse everything and crunch numbers 24/7 to enjoy the game.

Do go on. =)

By your logic... then there's no need for stats. Might as well put in a petition to abolish stats as they are just useless information that no one wants to bother with.

I know your being sarcastic, but tbh most stats require almost absurd numbers to yield decent returns (IE: needing +30 Crit. Rate to increase your actual Crit. rate by 1%.) The fact so much of a stat is needed to be noticeable, is probably how naked Ifrit/Mog runs are even doable to begin with, since gear is supplementing native stats. Along with the very limited capability to obtain/stack some stats in this game it really makes it difficult to determine if swapping gear is even worth the effort to begin with. At least at this point in the game.

Ya I'm aware of the naked Ifrit runs.. and I agree the current algorithm / equations (if you will) of the stats are actually quite pathetic.. And by no means do I mean to have this option available now.. there's far too many issues that SE needs to resolve long before they start giving us perks.

Yes, that is totally my point. The fact that I've said any number of times that skills and preparation are what players should rise and fall on instead of relying on cheap tricks like gear macros during battle is entirely irrelevant to the fact that you want to be sarcastic.

So yeah, let's totally abolish stats because I never said anything like that! (Do eet!)
