The new Allagan set of items needs to have a small customization option.

But that's the way the gear is designed, if you don't like it, wear something else.

There is your customisation right there.

Yep and come up with the missing main stat out of thin air, right?

[Radacci]

Ugh, I really wasn't a fan of reforging. Blizzard isn't either, apparently, since they're getting rid of it in the next expansion.

I'd just rather the ability to supplement the stats on endgame gear with stats of your own, like the gem socketing system in WoW. If only we had such a system in place in ARR...

oh you mean something like...materia?

No you learn to make do like everyone else, why is it missing or are you saying the person in charge of itemisation doesn't have a clue ... of course that's a different problem :P

The thing is also, we have no idea what stats any of the new crafted or GF gear will have so its too early to speculate on this stuff.

oh you mean something like...materia?

Yea but you can't meld rare items.

They do make calculation mistakes. They did it once with BLM/SMN Allagan boots in 2.1. They did claim mistake after the outcry but IMHO I think the guy who planed the stats is doing it based on an opinion that might be different to what currently is known among the min maxers community. For example SS, excellent for BLM but it is the worst stat possible if the BLM have high ping.

SMN and BLM going to share the exact same BiS in 2.2, what do you think the SMN community going to think about the guy who planned the stats if SS is the dominant secondary stat?

This is why we need some sort of customization. Everyone win .

I know, and they would be way to OP, if you could.

[Empressia]

Because this game is a WoW clone, i prefer reforging option available and remove accuracy stat (WoD ftw)!

They can design new dungeon gear with the materia system in mind. Give the gears less basis stats and give the players the option to fill up the missing stats till the specific stat cap.

Y not just do coil T6-9 with myth like how ppl did t1-5 with darklight and myth.
Just combine the 2 and stop complaining!
Yoshitomes are available so just use them till u please the RNG gods.
Also in monster hunter it was all about skill and the weapon.
Vanity > defence
Skill > defence
But attack power trumps all
U can go in with 0 defence and use a decent if not one of the best weapons and beat the hardest content.

Why do some people have such a huge problem with the idea of a little bit of customization? Are people like Jinko going to throw an even bigger fit if SE DID allow more customization of gear, or are people like him just shouting at anyone who suggests something other than the status quo?

I rather have max super inflated crit stat, even if it costs me INT on my summoner and MND on my scholar. Because, rule of fun. And no, the difference between penta-melded i90 and i100 is NOT what will make me fail content. I'll probably be able to carry people still, too. Just not 7 people.
