    This is what I was trying to get at as well. If there are 5 'best' pieces for a given slot/class that we need for various skills, with gear swapping, everyone who plays that class will be expected to have them or be sub-par. Ultimately, we'll all be after the same gear, where is the uniqueness in that? I'd rather have multiple pieces of gear available and be able to customize their stats.

    There may end up being best gears in slot. That will especially be the case without gear-swaps. However so long as there are multiple comparable gear it shouldn't lead to a sever issue as being kicked for not having THE best gear. With the materia system we already have this.

    My underlying point is each player doesn't have to be the best at everything they can do via using all of their gear sets each fight, but really good at their primary focus by choosing their custom set that enhances that focus for the given party.
