Semi-lazy in gear for 3.0?

So, 3.0 is great, the zones look nice and all that, but did anyone else notice a good majority of the newer gear are just recolored soldiery / lost city gear that everyone's getting now? Seems like most jobs get evenstar, shikaree and that one mage body from lost city, just recolored. Not to mention a good portion of weapons that were added all look the same. How many unique guns for mch until 60? About 3, your starting lvl 30 gun's model gets recycled around 5? times throughout 30-60.

I mean, I knew this would happen eventually with how fast they pumped out new fancy looking gear designs and then threw them out the next update, but I didn't think it'd happen this fast. I said it a year ago, but the same thing will eventually happen to dungeons with how fast they outdate the ones they just added, like all mmos, they'll eventually start running out of space for newer not recycled dungeons.

Also not to mention, 75% of Au ra female's emotes/weapon idle pose are exactly the same as miqo'te >_>

Edit: Evenstar is still a boner tail for Au ra >_> and even changes the shape of the tail to Miqo'te

Well it's SE, what can I say? They know how to reuse skins. This is just the tip of the iceberg. They can get...cheap at times if it means dishing something out sooner.

Most of the emotes are different o.o I haven't found any that are the exact same, and the poses are completely different too. Im pretty sure the weapon poses are the same for all races.

The idle poses are different but not the weapon ones and I'd have to get back on to try the emotes again but theres quite a few that are the same

Weapon animations are the same across all races of that same class...

AST heals however are reused WHM casts with small changes(hand placement, recolored particle at the feet).

All I know is 3.0 gear really is awful looking.

I however ADORE HEALER'S POETIC ARMOR TOP.

Carbon fiber hoodie??!?!?!!?!! AND METAL!??!?!!? WITH GLOWING LIGHTS!?!???! I LOVE IT.

This current heavnsward gear I am seeing... so... boring....


GLAMOR AWAY! GLAMOR!

weapon idle pose depend of gender and weapon, not the race.

Also I tested the Au Ra emotes and not even 30% are the same. Not even /airquotes is the same.

This. From what I can tell though, the dungeon drops (and a few other misc. gear pieces) are totally unique gears.

Um I just care that I can dye the Shikaree Vest now. Finally.

None of the emotes/poses are the same for Au Ra and Miqo'te, sans the weapon animations which are the same for all races/genders. Similar, maybe, but not the same.

Idle poses are the same for everyone cept male/female pft.

LOL as a healer I'm really happy about the recolours. Finally, we get to wear some of the cool looking disciple of war gear.

Because of the glamour class restrictions, it's a nice thing they did this IMO.

Besides, most of the hear that drops in dungeons is unique. I'm enjoying my off the shoulder fur robe that comes with a tattoo personally.

The Mythrite set looks pretty good on a Paladin. I like the way the lower section of the body animates with movement.

The second "weapon out" idle pose for DRK is inadvertently hilarious. Arms out, sword point down into the ground, I was doing it (tall highlander female) next to a (min-height) Au Ra female friend and the "Mine's bigger than yours" jokes just rolled out naturally.

I love how all the reward gear is liberally reskinned armor. At least, all the armor I've been getting. I mean, bloody hell!

Well PvP gear for new jobs are just recycled WHM, PLD, and MNK. Kind of disappoint since NIN had a completely different set.

It's not that the items themselves are reskins... that, sadly, isn't anything new...

But look at this rainbow scarf of whatever...

...it's totally devoid of not a rainbow, but of any colour whatsoever! WTH. @.@
