Almost as bad? A step up is still a step up, and I can't blame them for not wanting to include a 4th equipment slot and all the balance work that'd bring. Also, let's be frank, in terms of character design the legs are traditionally the least important part of the body. People look at heads, at hands, and at torsos, legs never warrant as much attention as any other body part. Some more basic options would be nice but I can understand why it is the way it is.
