7.0 Gearing - please give us real horizontal gearing!

I was really excited about horizontal gearing in Onslaught. All these gear sets we can pick and choose and mix and match; the theory crafting would be amazing.

 

Truth is that isn't true. The gear sets can't be mixed and matched since the set bonuses are given at 4 and 6 pieces out of a maximum of 7. So the obvious route was to find the 'best' set for each spec and leave all of the rest rotting in the bank. What a colossal waste of development effort.

 

In 7.0, assuming you aren't throwing this gearing system out, would you please consider changing the set bones to 3 and 6? This way, a player could get the 3 piece bonus from two different sets, allowing for some great theory crafting options, while leaving 6 piece for specific content (best for granked, best for nim, etc)

 

Other successful MMOs that have horizontal gearing systems (ESO for example) make gearing and trying out different set matches fun and rewarding, with a thriving theory crafting community.
