HOPEFULLY people will retain the purpose of playing a game in the first place; to have fun. I get irked by elitists as much as the next guy, but always having something to look forward to is nice. I know we're just breaking the surface with the game now since we haven't even passed the first level cap into the REAL endgame era yet (just think, we're all donning the equivalent of the original AF in FFXI. How crappy is that gear now?) MVP stature could always reward nifty little things like +1 boosts here and there to pieces of armor of your choosing just to add some customization. As long as I don't see everyone running around in scorpion harnesses and rogues culottes I'll be happy.
