That's a flimsy comparison. In an FPS the main means of interacting with the world is shooting. In an MMO the main means of interacting with the world is not gear swapping. The game is not designed around the use of such a system, if it was it would already be in place. However even though it would be "optional", most of the community would likely not feel this way.
