Itemization... or the lack of it.

Am I the only person that dislikes how linear gear is?

Aetherial equipment was a nice feature, that was ditched after some whining over how powerful it could be because RNG.

The game offers zero customization in terms of character progression, everyone with the same gear have the same stats, not even a slight minimal range on min-max, just fixed numbers. Boring.

Bring Aetherial gear back, and make it the ultimate of end-game rewards, so people will stay busy grinding the best gear until the next patch drops.

They had this with Coven i280 weapons and the uproar was great. I don't think they'll be bringing back something like that anytime soon.
