NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Now we have to get 3-4 sets of gear just to fight one dam boss.

Oh Zenaku you got TP Gear and WS Gear and Def Gear? no? ok please leave thank you. I really hope something happen when you change gear in battle.

Happens anyway.......

Got tripled meld? cya
Got 450 int? cya
Got full AF? cya
Got Relic? cya......
You want to be Pugilist? cya...

Having an requirement for something already exists and is already demanded and to be expected with MUCH of the content. Gearset is just an addition to something that already exists.

But the solution is quite simple, don't play with those people....

This is easy to say; if gearswapping catches on as a viable thing to do, we'll pretty much be forced to do so.

You know how everyone stepped on the SAM that TP'd in STR rings, the THF that did everything in DEX rings etc... there were massive threads (and in some cases multiple threads on the same forum) about the people that didn't gear swap when it was seen as 'the thing to do'.

They were labelled as 'incompetent' or 'gimp'

Same thing will happen here.

We can choose 'not' to play with those kinds of people, but what if it's your long-time linkshell? What if every group worth its salt decides gear swapping is worth it?

The easiest thing would be to not allow it at all or penalize one for doing so.
If they don't want people to do it, then it feels a little ass-backwards to allow it ><

If gear swapping caught on it'd be XI all over again.
Screwed without windower macros (I didn't bother with this - 3 macros alone to change bst gear to my charm set and back again... ugh... or was it 4?) but the point is it was slow and cumbersome!
Carry around 3+ sets of gear for the one job?
8 Staves for your SMN? Why the hell not!

Edited for speeeelling erruhz.
Also sorry if my post reads harsh, totally not my intention and I wish you a wonderful day Viion^^

I have 3 relic for my 3 jobs MNK,BLM,DRG getting tripled is simple with time. Now try and get tripled meld for 2-3 sets of gear per job. Then getting rare,ex gear set for each job. that more pain in the ass then just working on one great master set for each job like i did in 1.0

Also you telling people to not join people like that? really? good luck finding a endgame that does not look at your gear before joining and if you do find one there not that good at winning. Working on one gear set is easy working on 2-3 is not i hope they make it so you can't gear swap in battle.

I also don't want to worry about switching gear in battle in FFXI i ended up just not worrying about it when there was 30+ people doing the same fight.
