The main point of the game IS leveling/grinding, but that doesn't mean the game isn't/can't be complex, and there's certainly some interesting aspects to the Potential system, regardless of how much people only care about how much it will make them even more overpowered.
If Potential didn't have +% to stat buffs, I bet people would be more caring about the other things it can give. The problem is that if you get a +21-27% main stat on your equipment, there's no possible way you'd ever turn that away, or anything remotely near it. Since it's such a massive boost, people always aim for it, regardless of how interesting/effective/useful any other potential can give. Let's face it, +2x% of your main stat is just impossible to beat, and therein lies the issue.
