Post your weirdest glamours

Heyas! Sooo, I had an idea: post your weirdest glamours with the caption:
"What class am I?"

If we get enough of these, maybe we'll get an actual reason as to why we can't have unrestricted glamours.

Starting off with my own of course:

Trick question. You are all class.

Won't this thread be something of an argument for why not?

You have a bunch of trash glams made of pieces that are the exceptions to the class-restricted rule and then ask why everything isn't unrestricted. It's a strategy, I guess.

Dunno about wierdest, but this set just feels wrong as a DNC:

Also, as my username is "Saefinn" and is the name of a character I have, so I made "Saelor Mars" once.

If only I knew about you earlier. We turned our FC's tavern into "Kugane Fried Chocobo" and ran an event for April Fools. I'd have reached out for a collaboration as we're on the same DC lol.

The problem is, the 'official' argument for why glams are restricted is something like 'so players can tell who is what class at a glance'. That argument shatters like sugar-glass before a sledgehammer when you realize these unrestricted glam pieces exist.

Especially as you can't glamour your weapon into another job's weapon and you can put on completely neutral glamours, like bikini tanks, but a tank can't wear heavy armour that DRG can.

FFXI, however, their equivalent system was not job restricted (though I think that was more down how broken XI's systems were and they probably couldn't make a restrictive system when they added it...but still, it was not an issue. My BLU looked like a COR because I like Pirates.

I have a counter-argument. If you are geared in level 70 SMN gear, I am not going to mistake you for a DRK. If you are geared in level 60 BRD gear, I am not going to mistake you for a WHM. If you're geared in level 50 ALC gear, I'm pretty sure you're not going to bust out DNC moves. It may only really matter in PvP, but then again ...

Also, I'm not so sure about the use of that word "official". That was pretty much Blizzard's excuse for limiting Transmog (can't glamour Leather gear as a mage, for example).

I think possibly a middle ground: limit restrictions only to AF sets. AF sets are pretty iconic for each job. But like, none of the pirate-y looking tricornes can be worn by mages, as an example, but I wanted a pirate theme for my mage glamour and the head pieces that come close don't look right. I can't keep a consistent Nomad's glamour between jobs or heck the new P'algthan stuff. And none of these sets add anything to job identity. And for all the mages who complain about their sets often being a robe or a variation of it'd open a bigger spectrum to them, because if in that gear's theme you see somethign you do like for another job that's not a robe, you glamour it.
