This is a silly argument (no offense ). It always matters because of the effort and reward ratios. I can clear Dark Souls naked with a lightning reinforced club, but that's way harder than using proper gear. Playing a better job/comp has an inherent advantage. If the gap is very small then sure, yea, it doesn't mean much. But otherwise, you will feel noticeably weaker (think AST in 3.0). Plus, for many people, feeling powerful counts a lot. It's fun to feel powerful. Plus, you like being rewarded if you do well. And if someone gets a better reward for less effort, that frankly feels not-so-good x)
