Gear swaping in 11 is what kept the game relevant at lvl 75 for so many years, gear 8yrs old+ was still used. All gear swaps do is add another element to the game for people to do, some of the people on this thread are claiming they "did fine" on 11 without using gear swaps, so why would you hate if it was added if it wouldnt effect you?

Gear relevance is a big deal with me atleast, after Darkhold was released, it lasted what... like a month before ifrit was, so we spent a month spamming darkhold doing speed runs trying for those weapons, then they got out-dated. keeps happening with every update, not sure how thats fun, but i guess most think it is.

Use the search box, enter "gear swaps", hit enter. Gear swaps introduce many more problems than they do solutions.

why ppl scurd of gear swaps
and elitist cant be used an answer

I guess in your opinion it may, another element making people learn their jobs more in depth and keeping a large portion of gear relevant for later years in my opinion would outweigh people's "personal" life scheduals. If gear is constantly outdated more casual players can never be made happy unless content is easy, because the content is only relevent for a month, maby two, then you will never find a group to do it, if you expect to get that gear within that time, it honestly has to be easy.

I actually really liked gear swaps in FFXI, but I am also a mathematician and enjoy min-maxing.

The great thing about gear swaps is that it kept gear relevant! Pieces that were 5 years old still has uses, it gave the XI endgame so much more longevity.

It also gave the developers quite a bit of freedom when designing gear, things could be quirky and situational because players could swap it in when needed.

The only real problem with gear-swapping in XI was that it almost required windower because SE did a bad job with the macro system.

/blinkmenot anyone?

Its really not like it was impossible to get rid of, 90% of the people in 11 prob did. If they get rid of it themselves it would be amazing and people would have 1 less thing to use as an excuse for "I couldnt figure out how to make decent macro's".

Oh who is scared of gear swaps? I think it actually comes down to people seem to not want a unnecessary and useless system put into the game... and yes it really is unnecessary and it is useless.

Oh but I forget you humans love unnecessary and useless things don't you... it is why you cling to old things and old ways so much hmmm... maybe that is why you are still alive... for now anyways...

Did you just call yourself a cat and refer to yourself in the 3rd person while trying to tell us your point is useless?

I just stated several "uses" though i see no examples of "unnecessary/useless" in your post.

I'm pretty sure I said I... but anyways to your points at this stage of the game it is unneeded... and no really you could learn your job/role/class just fine without unnecessary gear swaps... or maybe you couldn't? is that what you are trying to tell everyone? That you cannot learn how to play the game without gear swapping? Is that it?

Really now... I do swear you humans are so funny... and it is actually pretty funny to see the way you take what I say...
