As was stated, the individual in this example most likely had the ARR relic equipped by mistake. And while it'd be great if the game took steps to prevent mistakes like this, it's not as though this is some kind of epidemic. Incidents like this are incredibly rare - this is the first time I've ever seen something like this, and you KNOW that if it was happening a lot folks on the forums would be in a froth about it.

A much more serious issue, I think, is that the game allows jobs to equip inappropriate accessories. I suppose it's a thing so that folks learning new content can equip VIT accessories for the extra survivability - but I don't think they're often used that way. Instead, folks equip inappropriate accessories either because they're new to the game and think having diverse stats is a good thing, or they are using them to meet ilvl requirements on a secondary job without having to shell out for additional gear. Both of those situations should be discouraged.

See the /s at the end of the post you quoted and responded to? That stands for /sarcasm. The person you quoted does not actually believe what they wrote, and was being sarcastic.
