Would you like to see the current stat system revised or redone for FFXIV 2.0?

You can't really convince Elexia that Gearswapping is anything short of perfect. So don't even bother with that debate. I'm just glad the devs are against the idea in the first place.

The only thing the devs were against was adding a haste spell. P.S you wouldn't be able to macro gear if they were against it, just fyi.

Can you point to a source? My understanding was that the stat reforms were to make it easier for players to properly stat their characters, not to make one gear set per class the only good choice.

I'm pretty sure you were playing when they reformed all class actions and added the job system.

You mean to say you would be able to change gear in active mode if they weren't against it.

I've been playing since beta. I'm not questioning that stats were changed, I'm questioning what you have put forth as the reason for the changes.

No, they actually said that they were against swapping gear in active mode. If you haven't noticed, they've also made it so that you can't switch weapons (maybe other gear too, i haven't tried that) in the newest instances. If that doesn't tell you that gear swaps are not coming to this game, I don't know what will.

So you've somehow completely missed Yoshida stating he wants classes to be more unique? You completely somehow missed them redoing class skills as well as adding in traits and the job system?

Your mind is stuck on stats lol.

You also can't move while you change gear, I'm pretty sure that wasn't a purposeful design choice.

I'm pretty sure they're sticking with that because re-equipping gear in this game is a hassle, so you can set up gear sets for each job you play. To use before doing any battling. Not so that you can switch a body piece to perform an ability. You're just being delusional.

I really think the only one being delusional are people like you who think you needed to change gear to use a job ability.

Have you already forgotten what you said earlier?

in repsonse to this:

More importantly, if the stats are altered, I wish it's done in a way so that there is many routes to the same goal, where one person can make a Crit Build, and another a standard DPS build and the two would still come out relatively the same.

you said:

Yoshi wants to avoid this, the whole purpose he reformed the class/job system to being with.

Please find me a source. that's all i'm asking. Making classes unique doesn't negate having multiple options for gear.
