Because it's not like you don't already do that with builds in every other MMO out there. The devs got rid of talent trees and whatnot because they don't actually represent real choices. All they do is create the illusion of it, and, after a month or so when the theorycrafters have done the math/analysis, there becomes a single optimal that everyone starts using (and anyone that doesn't do it because they feel like being different just ends up hurting themselves; anyone that's new and doesn't feel like doing the research just ends up performing terribly).

The current system works because it's just like every other system out there only without the pretense. You've got a small amount of customizability that has a small impact on total performance, but, overall, you're just like everyone else.
