You are missing the point.

They gave us the primary and secondary stat, that's more than most games would offer. In previous games, they didin't provide statistics and details into the battle system, it was the players who did the legwork on it. I don't see them doing it here. FFXIV is targeting the casual audience, wouldn't enjoying the game start to take a backseat once "ultimate SE approved mining builds" started popping up? It'd take away the mystery.
