Indeed. Once the new MMORPG smell wears off, this will be one of the biggest complaints. People do love their loot in MMORPG and this loot is dry and stale. If Diablo III got blasted for the kind of loot it had, imagine what the reaction would have been if every update was "Stat+1", "VIT/PIE +1", and two of the following: "Acc+1", "Skill/Speed Speed+1", or "Determination+1". Doesn't matter if it is a quest reward from a level 5 quest or Artifact Armor or what Bahamut drops. Particularly when most actions in the game are very straight forward too.

I actually expect the combat system from gear to classes to get a remark by this time next year. It has no room for creativity and this will make people bored.
