This isn't true though. WoW had special effects on equipment as set bonuses that modified specific skills or mechanics for a class and they didn't become mandatory to have in all content. All it takes is a little imagination to build a system where this could work.

The simplest solution would be to have a player make tradeoffs for the bonuses and sacrifice other things. Another would be to implement the bonuses as materia effects (and honestly this would be the best way to make the materia system actually interesting).
