If they just got rid of the 2nd ring slot you would need to rebalance the whole stat system cause you would loose a lot of stats from one ring. If they changed the 2nd ring slot to say.. capes, you then have to make the cape visible on the character model since rings are visible if you don't have gloves on. Seeing as how at the EU fan fest they talked about how difficult it was to put capes on the Armour I doubt they would want to make a cape slot visible. So they could just leave that blank but I have a feeling people would be unhappy with that. What then do you replace the 2nd ring slot with? You could make the 2nd ring slot the Job Stone slot, and have the Job Stone level with you and give you stats based on that, like what they are doing with the pre-order earrings. Job Stones already give you some stats I think simply by changing you from a class to a job. Just splitting the rings into Left and Right is probably more work then they are willing or can afford to do tho. So I think it would be more likely for them to put a "upgraded" ring in the 24 man raids or a EX primal like they have in the past. I would prefer the 24 man tho since not everyone does EX primals. Tho I'm guessing there are some that don't do 24 man raids either lol.

Combine the two stats into one ring stat. No balance adjustments required.
