1) Railraods in a dull path? you didnt get the jist: it railroads in a simple path, and honestly you're going to make more happy souls with straigh forward effort=more power than effort= different power.
2) Number next to their gear? it will be the same damn thing in your Utopia: suddenly Ifrit Extreme will require a full set of Fire resistance gear. Welcome additional grinding. no thanks.
3) Blurring the lines? So you want it to be difficult for people to know whether someone has the required geared for Coil?
4) Player's identity to shine: Now please go on and tell me how your uniqueness of roleplay marvel makes you beat Titan heart phase or even Demon Wall with sub-par gear?
