Why can't we have jobs with this level of depth and customization in FFXIV?

This tells me you haven't even played seekers, because there is a lot of your old gear that you upgrade in seekers. Relics, mythic, empyrean weapons, your old AF+1 armor, and relic armor from dynamis all got updates and use the base pieces you got from 75 content with some new seal drops from updated bcnm fights, your old gear you got at level 75 is now updated to ilvl 119 after some work. The weapons r/m/e continue to be upgarded to ilvl 119 and are still the best weapons and you can't skip the previous upgrade steps and go straight to 119 you have to do the 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 99 parts as well.

SE is going to release items up upgrade your abyssea armor soon as well so that armor won't be going to waste either.

I logged on and played Seekers a couple of times before deactivating my character forever. This coming from a year break. Wasn't around long enough to see ilevels. However it just proves the problem that SE created for themselves with keeping the level cap at 75 so long -- You have these people who are so scared of their equipment becoming useless and outdated that SE created a way to reuse them and raise their iLvl, keeping them relevant (and perpetuating the problem in the first place). FFXI is doomed now to continue to upgrade 5~10+ year old gear via iLvl or do away with them completely, losing even more subs.

I don't blame the people for panicking or complaining at all.
