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

[Jinko]

You don't need a full set to want customization. It is not just fun to experiment, it raises the value of the best gear in the game . There is also the situation: lel I haz Allagan 2 chest, too bad not enough Acc to use it yet. This is a common issue and won't solve itself for a while.

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?

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.

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.

which would make it the same as new ilv90 gear with slots.

I don't think 1 materia slot would break the game tbh, especially if you can't meld the main stats.

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 laughed.

I am not set against it, I would welcome it, but the thing is its not going to happen, if they dev team wanted customisation at end game it would already be in the game.
Also shouldn't a suggestion like this go in the feedback forums ?

Didn't I read they are remaking the materia system ?, maybe your hope lies there.
