I played a BLM at 75 for 3 years. I had all the sea obis, several AF +1 pieces, AF2, Zenith gear, Nashira gear, Assault gear, HQ staves, and a bunch of other gear that I don't care to remember right now.

I despised having to gear swap and looking like a clown, never having more than 4 empty inventory slots, and having pages upon pages of macros just so I could be competitive; and I despised the fact that SE kept releasing gear based around the fact that players kept exploiting this flaw in the game's engine. It's stupid game design through and through.
