Anything interesting in the JP general forum?

I was on the JP general forum out of curiosity, looking for good discussions that might be getting SE's attention. I found a thread with the OP getting rated up tons but Google Translate isn't good enough for me to understand it. What's this about? Looks interesting, something about gear and chestnuts:

That player is pointing out a number of things that are often talked about on the English side as well. Here's a rough summary:

• New items with each update are not that interesting. No set bonuses. No unique traits. Stat increases are just tiny incremental steps on the gear ladder.
  
• No endgame relevant armor or weapons that you can make/trade through the marketplace. It's boring to just have a marketplace for minions and furniture.
  
• New dungeons drop gear that is only good for glamouring and are otherwise a pointless grind.
  
• That player is not interested in PvP, so would prefer that battle skills be more balanced (and maybe more varied?) for PvE.
  
• Tanks' only job is to maintain hate. Otherwise there isn't much for them to do.
