It would be nice if, with Reforging in place, they reduce the number of abilities on the gear. Could even limit it to only base stats(str, agi, int, spi, & stam) to guide it into the hands of the classes they are meant for, and then let the end user decide if it will be a hit, crit, haste, exp, etc type item. This would put itemization into the hands of the player rather than the RNG that determines which drop you get, and allow the devs to create basic gear in a linear fashion, and focus on special abilities of special items.

I don't know how far they will take it, but they are addressing this a little bit by removing spell power, armor penetration, mp5, and other stats from the gear. They will also be standardizing the stamina on the gear so there won't be any more "plate envy" as they called it.
