What is wrong with you people lol
you do realise that what youre saying is illogical as FFXIV had over two years to grow and it actually did and we had equipment with unique stats and an materia system that was actually useful for something?
can i wear equiment especially to increase enmity? nope
can i wear equiment especially to increase healing magic? nope

why?
because SE decided to scrap all that to make a simple and easy to understand game.
they took what FFXIV did right and scrap that, now ask yourself, do you really, really belive they will make this anymore interesting ever again after just scrapping it? nope

FFXIV 1.0 had more gear choices from the get go than this game will ever have with the current equipment system.
iLvl stands above anything in this game, and if you actually deny this fact, you're blind.
aslong this game is ruled by such a system it will never get less linear, no more theorycrafting, no more different looking jobs, nothing.

this has nothing to do with how much time this game had to grow since the relaunch, this is a fact.anyone who belives that they will scrap this to return to a more complex system is blind
