It's a terrible decision and one of the first things I personally noticed when looking through endgame gear and thinking to myself: "What the hell? Not even extra fire damage on ifrit weapons? No special bonuses on AF gear liks they had in XI and 1.0? What's this boring sh*t about?!"

This is to me, deeply disturbing and I for one hope that they add some "spice" to the gear in a patch real soon cause this is going to get real stale, real fast... I feel no need whatsoever to pursue gear at this moment in the game other than "ooh that's kinda cool looking"...
