I realize I only recently came back to FFXIV and haven't seen all the new unique stuff you can get from Grand Companies and the like, but one of the few things that it really had going for it on release was the variety of different equivalent gear pieces that you could pick for any given slot at certain levels...though crafting difficult at the time required unreasonably high levels in crafting to craft low level gear.

While something like this is more of a quality of life improvement than a needed fix, I think that it would make a lot of players happier to be able to be more individual by wearing different styles of gear. What we originally had was two to five different items for each slot at around the same level, so while they were each different they were roughly equivalent. As someone who's primarily a craftsman, having that variety of craftable equipment gives us more to do and is highly desirable....unfortunately I can see that it would take a goodly bit of work since you would have to rebalance the stats of each rereleased item. If possible, though, please look into this.
