Can you honestly say this doesn't happen in MMOs without gear-swap? Like be real, can you say you've never, ever seen people expect you to have certain gear or even certain tiers of gear for x reason? i.e Gold gear in Tera?



Expecting people to have good gear for their role is one thing. Expecting them to participate in swapping gear mid battle to overextend their purpose/role is another.
I'll expect BRDs in my party to wear the song enhancing AF pieces as those make quite a difference and it is their primary role as a BRD to use those songs. I won't expect them to swap gear while not singing to increase their DPS, as DPS is not the primary focus of the job.
The minute gear-swapping becomes smooth and viable in this game, this expectancy will spread like a plague. There is precedence for enforcing community-set rules on what people need to get invited in this community.

I would rather be able to tell someone competence by looking at what materia they have inserted in their gear than the actual gear they are wearing.
In WoW I could tell a bad player from a good one regardless of the gear they wore because of the enchantments and gems they had in their gear, anyone can join a pug group and get lucky with a nice piece of gear (Ifrit anyone ?) but seeing what materia a person has in their gear shows you if they know their class IMO.
I like the idea behind materia but limiting it to white items makes it total BS imo, not that I ever want to see multi melded blues either.
As Noctis said before the idea of upgrading AF or U/U items is much more appealing.
