I would, because it is. It's not bad, but they put dresses on everything. It's tired design.

Looks like freaking leveling gear.

The melee and tank outfits don't look much different, tbh

I really do not like the design of this gear. I can't make glamour prisms to cover it up fast enough. :c

My only problem is that it's asian looking gear on something that happens on the "western" side of the expansion. I understand that it's the theme of the expansion, but I feel like both cultural sides should be represented equaly. As for now I feel like there's a small bias towards Doman design in contrast to Ala Mighan design in the expansion. Maybe later on higher tiers of the raid we'll see more diversity. It just deosn't make sense to me to get ancient samurai looking gear by doing a raid in the midst of a middle eastern area that doesn't even resemble the raid in the slighest.

It's ugly, yep.

But since proper etiquette calls for me to glamour everything into RDM AF, I wasn't gonna wear it anyway.

Why is the new raid gear asian-related? It doesnt make any sense.

First of all, I m ok with asian-related gear (if its not ugly of course). I m ok if we can get some of this stuff from PvP and dungeons. But why was it so necessary to put in Omega, too? Dont we have enough gear based on asian designs? Do we really need even more Samurai- or Ninja-looking gear?

I mean, when I was looking for Omega, I ve expected something different. Different from Gyr Abania and different from Othard. Something, that acutally match with the futuristic/allagan style of Omega itself. If you look at the good old Coil or Alexander Raid, you find gear which actually match with the theme. Coil got dreadwyrm/allagan gear, Alexander got gold/alexandian-like gear. I m not an expert, but Omega is far away of being "asian" ; )

I m sorry, but this gear is not worth it!

I want to add that I don't like the gear either, but specifically I want to add that above that I was absolutely stunned to see the gear we got.

Based on what happens, I fully expected ironworks style gear or gear modeled after Omega. My guess on the gear's look wasn't even close.
