What he said, clearly the ARR Dev team has decided on which path to take which is a bit disheartening but I wish they could so something like the Higher your ilvl the more Job Specific bonuses you get.

Like take your combined ilvl for AF Armor and have that be the baseline, you now have bonuses conferred to various abilities and spells and it won't punish you for moving ahead of AF armor because as long as you're ilvl is above the ilvl of AF armor then you have those traits still activated. It will allow for more subtler job specific bonuses without necessitating people to stick with a piece of ilvl gear that is lower than ilvl because it enhances Defiance to have X amount of Damage Reduction added (as a random example) maybe have the Af2 gear set be another threshold for even more bonuses thus allowing even Af2 and Allagan to intermingle. Allow specific items to give a bonus trait ahead of its ilvl but have that trait be offered with a higher ilvl.
