the consept of gear swapping is simple, just any new system that allows for gearing your class with every piece of gear it has and being able to use it with ease. how is that a bad thing? it's not, all the bad things people complain about can be fixed and not used in the new system for it. only thing you truely can complain about is i'm too lazy to farm 10items (no space taken stop bitching bout that too) from 10 nm/dungeons/endgame events. that is only valid complaint. other then that all complaints can be fixed. it's 2012, it doesn't necessarily need to be gear that swaps, it doesn't need to blink it doesn't need take up space. it doesn't need to ..hmm what else was bitched about? lol. but this is a totally different thread all together. but it's not such a horrid idea if you get you one track mind out the gutters. it totally adds more content, more gathering, more entertainment for 1class.
