I personally just want a final decision by SE as to whether we can gear-swap or not. Currently we can but it's slow and clunky. I would like to see the macros either sped up in 2.0 and full swapping allowed, or a complete cut off of our ability to change gear while in combat alltogether.

The plus side to gear swapping is it opens up almost every piece of gear to a use for players. When you can't swap gear, you will generally only wear the best-in-slot piece for all around play. When swapping is opened, suddenly hands that would be horrible to wear all the time, but are awesome for casting stoneskin in, are a viable piece of gear and desirable by high end players willing to put together these gear sets to further their character.

While the swapping was tedious in XI, I actually really liked it despite how completely silly the idea of it is (I tended to think of it visually as some sort of magical "poof" into another pair of clothes).

But in the end, I'm kind of fine either way... I would just like to see it done one way or another officially and not have to worry about it anymore.
