Adding set bonuses may actually be a way of simplifying progression. Instead of even allowing for the possibility of "Alexandrian boot with Scripture gloves may result in 2 more points of the stats I care the most..." you out right say "progress to get the full set and you will unquestionably have The Best Full Set" (BiS may become an obsolete term.)

To be honest, in a world were we got to manage a single character's inventory for so many jobs, I welcome a simplified equipment system. If managing equipment for multiple jobs was not a thing, then I would be much more open to ask/beg for gear set lines that are designed specifically for PvP, or Raiding, or Dungeons.
