That's a really flimsy excuse. That doesn't even work in a perfect world.
The point is is that this system is harmful for anyone who has put extreme amounts of work into their equipment and/or passes them onto the their other characters or sells equipment frequently. There are also "boss" AO, that give better stats for whatever. That means people who want to be stronger would also need to change to specific equipment(or not). This system just makes everything harder and more complicated. This stress is only cushioned by supposed "free damage"
If you refuse to accept that this system does not work in many people's favor and many people will have to switch out their entire set in favor of this system. You're being extremely narrow minded. This system is helpful but the scissor system is a very harmful system to many players who trade equipment and regardless of whether it is "forced on us or not", we have to deal with it if we want to get better. It isnt a fair system by any means. All it does is hide greedy intent behind extra damage.
