99% of gear and weapons is useless without stats which are obligatory to play at this moment

Weapons, Off-hands, amulets without +to lvl of skills = Useless

Even if I take off off-hand which is +2 to skills I'm losing 20% of damage, this should be only accessible through skill panel, jewels and tree nodes, cast speed, mana, life, ES and all other stuff you can get from different sources, but no +to skills which (if you're using 3x sources) gives you +10 to skills, we should get lvl up to 20lvl gems from monster drops, 21-24lvl gems pinnacle bosses (according to +1 difficulty, which gives us total +4 difficulty) 25 lvl gem, i don't know corrupt lvl 24th gem? Any additional, from jewels, some damage types have +1 from tree.
On weapons and off-hands is to powerful and too mandatory, no one will be using weapon without it.

Gear without rarity = Useless

You can mix and match, and even play without rarity on gear, but for how long, until it will affect drops and this stat will be on gear, whole rest without this stat will be useless, same as weapons without +to skills.

Accessible only through Waystones and Tablets would be much better, Im not against MF but not on gear, so what you can roll nice Waystone with ~200% rarity or even more if using modifiers from atlas tree and towers, if you don't have any rarity on gear it doesn't work standalone, as Johnathan confirmed player rarity is multiplicative with map/monster rarity, also player rarity, map rarity, monster rarity, charm rarity is so confusing in map modifiers it's not even showing or anywhere else how much rarity we have together, in skill panel its showing x%, map modifiers showing x%, charm x% why so many sources but different outcomes as some people spent 16 days straight testing it...

So rarity only as Waystones/Tablets and at least it should be summed together how much exactly rarity we have at this moment. Lucky charm is also nice thing, but should be more customizable or even unique with % increased rarity range and it wouldn't be mandatory as we don't have rarity on gear only Waystones/Tablest it would only give extra boost.

I know 50% of community is against rarity at all, and the other half is fine with it and it's hard to decide for GGG even having experience from PoE1, the easiest way to decide would be making a poll, even live in game as a message, pop-up, obviously polls on forums, discord will become invaded by bots.

Only my thoughts...

99.99% to be exact.

+skills should be on par with spell damage rolls, right now its like 2x spell damage rolls and stacks on top of them.

Its also very VERY uncommon to roll because your weapons like to roll useless crap like LIGHT RADIUS and ACCURACY.

GET RID OF IT, ITS USELESS AND OBNOXIOUS.

RMT farmers will have no trouble scamming a poll that could make them go out of business .

Nothing .
We're talking about a poll aiming at removing MF .
And if you believe MF & RMT doesn't walk hands in hands , well ...
