Perhaps we can assume players know what stats their job requires (not that removing the option to roll on it doesn't do this anyhow) so why don't we have unique equipment names? I think this would add quite a bit to the game and make itemization not seem so limited and narrow. Let's take a bard belt for example.. We could try "belt of the pathfinder" instead of the general "coil gear"

It's early enough to do this sort of thing. Otherwise the game is going to continue being a rinse/repeat every patch. An item level increase and that's that.

If these things and others I'll admit, aren't remedied, what could have been a very long term successful mmo is going to see a lot of attrition come wildstar, eqnext, and even wow wod. Heck people have left for ESO even >.<

Post character count limit (seriously?!?!?)
