Why refusing customization is a fallacy

[MythToken]

A1 savage is a dps check
A2 savage is a dps check
A3 savage some mechanics still a dps check
A4 savage who knows no one has beaten it. (safe bet is its a dps check)

The current endgame content is definitely a dps check.

That being said, it would be cool to see some customization at least in the way of cosmetic. I would like to be able to add fire or a green poison effect to all my attacks.

Yes, and it's lame..
Because it 1) makes underperfoming not optimal jobs discriminated, even if the player is very good and 2) won't hold any value once everybody has far better gear.

In 6 months, I'm sure more people will have clear A1S than T9.

Can't argue with A1 being a dps check, I would say A2 is more of a heal and tank check, hitting the required DPS isn't so hard...but have you been into A3? Yeah there are dps checks there, but there are also a hell of a lot of mechanics, more so than I've seen in previous raids.

The reason they are currently a dps check is that it's the easiest way to make them not beatable day one. The other ways to go about it is to make it a tank/healer check, which would just result in 3 healer parties or to make the mechanics so difficult/damaging that only the elite groups stand a chance until they eventually nerf it or you can dramatically overgear it.
