One of the major problems with XIV is Square has been trying to reinvent the wheel, and every attempt at that creates some horrific amalgam of pure fail, their wheel is not even a shape that should exist in the natural world, let alone roll.

Simply put, don't fix what isn't broken. I see the appeal in the armory system, it is indeed enticing to be able to use any ability you want, but as with many things they have tried, it is terrible when implemented. Although, I honestly think it might work if every class could use every weapon, although with a preference towards certain types of weaponry, which I am sure sounds familiar.

But I've taken to being wary of any new ideas they come up with, because their track record with implementing things not directly excised from the decaying corpse of FFXI has been pretty damn awful.
