I'd be happier with weapons being made less of a performance swing. Currently weapon damage is as much as 7x more important than your primary stat. That's a little absurd and it causes weapons to be overvalued compared to other pieces of gear. Add to that weapons are a pain to get. i200 weapons are easy... a batch of daily hunts will pretty much do it, but to get anything beyond that is a massive pain and currently requires farming content that would be disallowed under your suggestion.
