FFXIV is too simplistic and bland

[DrWho2010]

the game's gear system is cookie cutter so that you can't gimmick your way to ez clears. it is highly dependent on player skill. if you suck you need to GIT GUD. not rely on fast get out jail free cards to one shot your way out of fights because you bought some fancy thing to add to your armor.

Don't let his half-baked suggestions on gear traits give you the wrong idea, FFXI is highly dependent on player skill as well. You can't just throw on a full set of +1 armor and solo fights or anything, the stat boosts and trait boosts augment inherent traits of the job(s) that can equip them to make them more potent but definitely not overpowered or to serve as an Easy Button.

That being said this game could use some manner of customization but at this point I feel it's all but impossible due to the trinity system and the knife's edge balance the devs have set down.
