Allowing Gear Change in Active Mode

[Wolfie]

In my honest opinion, gear swapping in mid fight was an extremely broken system that eventually became the norm of a game. I am here for FFXIV, not FFXI-2.

Didn't early dev interviews about FFXIV specifically say that gear swapping in FFXI was considered an exploit and bug by the devs, but they couldn't take it out because people already became so reliant and used to it?
