Although even WoW removed this and the accuracy/expertise cap because they mentioned that it ended up being mandatory for players.

    Also, carrying different gear sets for different fights (to truly optimize dps by dropping accuracy when I don't need it.) Please show mercy to my armory chest; I have all DoW, DoM, DoL and DoH classes leveled up and geared. The only reason I can even fit everything is because of the forager/artisan pieces being shared between all 8/3 classes. All things considered with how none of the non-tank DoW classes share gear, SMN/BLM and SCH/WHM having completely different stat weights, and the soon to be DRK, AST and MCH, I'm not going to have room to keep more than one gear set for a specific class when 3.0 includes unique AF gear for each DoH/DoL again.

    You might think it's fun to carry a specific gear set for a specific encounter, I feel it's incredibly cumbersome given how we have an armory chest and how it works for people who try to take full advantage of it (having all classes leveled for example)

    Exactly, working around numbers or caps might be better if there was some actual gear customization outside of carrying a bunch of different sets.

    I don't think caps are the best design. There could be interesting gear min-maxing that are much more fluid.
    But things like accuracy caps can be okay if you can move the stats around, like reforging.

    At the very least, accuracy should give some bonus post cap anyway.
    Zero value stats shouldn't be a thing with such limited gear customization.
