I'd rather build my character to specialize how I want him to, not be force to be great at everything with 40 gear slots worth of equipment.

It worked in XI but just because it worked there doesn't mean it will work here. That's my opinion at least, aside from the constant blinking, gear swappers might want to take note that even if they could swap mid-fight they would have to add /wait 5 macros to everything to compensate for the server deciding if they were in their old set of gear or not.

There are far more important issues at hand right now, and the devs have allready said they are not going to add gear swapping.
