Glamour: Class Injustice

This thread title is like a movie name lol XD

I understand why they require that glamour items be lower level than the item they're going on to, but I do not in the slightest understand why it matters that glamour items have to be equippable by current class. There are so many absolutely amazing unique-class items in the game. I've got five unique crafting outfits already, and am working on class-unique outfits for Scholar and Summoner. But I cannot take those fucking awesome Summoner thighboots and wear them as a Scholar, or any other class. Never mind the fact that while almost every magic-class piece of gear from level 1-50 is "All Classes" I can't wear a single pair of trousers or that awesome Cotton Tabard or any kind of heavy armor as a Scholar. Why? What's the point of limiting gear equip compatibility at all? Why make certain things only equippable by X class when the stat boosts you get from any given item are only ever going to be actually useful to one or two classes?

Bookworm mages wearing heavy metal armor? I'm very much against this.

Remove requirements on gears.
Bring back optimal ranks and favoured classes

Every class can wear it at every level, but only the right class on the right level get all stats (the gear get level-sync).

I really wish we could use some of the crafter gear for vanity. I love the high weaver gear.

To be completely accurate, you can have plate armor as a caster if you kept the outdated armor from 1.0. Only reason I say this is make you even more resentful of those more privileged than you (IE tanks wearing caster armor.)

But there's already tanks in full robes, how can they possibly be tanking in DoM armor?
It really does go both ways.
Ryans, theres no resentment, its ok if we don't get it. (I honestly don't think we will)
But it'd be nice to see why it is that they chose to do this.
It can't be due to immersion, tanks can wear full DoM armor and look like a caster while being able to tank bosses.
