Please stop attaching the lower part of a gear set to the chest piece

I don't get why the devs choose to do this. More often than not, it ruins the whole chest piece and limits its use for other glamours. If I wanted the lower part too, I'd glamour the legs piece, which is supposed to have that part attached to it instead. Examples of this would be the Riviera dress, the Qitana Ravel set, and the Paglth'an set (I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting). The latter has such a pretty chest part for aiming, scouting, and striking, but the whole thing is ruined because it's attached to the "skirt" thingy (T_T).

Half the time I love them.
Half the time I hate them.
I would like a "skirt toggle."

I would like a stockings toggle for skirts...some of them would be nice with thigh high stockings, but the only way to really get them is using the 2B legs, but that cuts out a LOT of lower section and doesn't work with a lot of armours I want to use the skirts with.

I agree, same with gloves sometimes. I really liked the neo-Ishgardian tank set for it's one armored arm only to find that the actual arm equipment was just hand, meaning that very few gloves besides the default match and the gloves themselves are useless.

I was excited when I saw the gearset promo image because it looks like a few of the Pagl'than sets have leg gear that are sort of kilty. Skirtlike with a front apron.

I was super disappointed to find that the legs are actually just shorts, and the kilty part belongs to the chest slot.

I feel you. The same goes for the aiming set. I so wish the Neo-Ishgardian set's chest piece didn't have the gloves part attached to it. When I first saw it, I was scratching my head at this choice. That part clearly belongs with the gloves, so why? We already have plenty of simple gloves in the game, so, again, why?

Same. I still like the robe thingy but wish it was part of the leg slot instead. A few other sets that have this ...issue are the DNC af gear, the lv 60 caster/healer lv 60 pvp sets, and the Thavnairian bolero/bustier. Imo when the chest area is completely cut off around the abdomen, whatever's below should be part of the leg slot instead.

I 100% agree, despite the fact im in a complete opposite side of this.
I hate finding a skirt I love, only to find out its actually attached to the worlds ugliest body piece. (or theres a much better body piece for it)

Was so damn disappointed seeing those new tops being stuck with butt-capes.

I was going to jump in that many pieces in this game have dangling bits that would go great on a belt slot... I had at one point suggested they move these pieces to that slot, but we all heard the fate of belts.

A toggle off for skirts and dangles is a highly requested feature in so many MMOs
Why do all these games attach so many odds and ends to tops? Is it just because it's easier to model?

They are probably even coded as belt slots, as a legacy component from orig FFXIV where belts had visuals. At least some of the earlier plate armours have the belt visual merged with the top.

The actual biggest sin they make when it comes to their gear design choices has nothing to do with the fact that body pieces usually contain the skirt. It has nothing to do with the fact that most of their footwear are variations of thigh high boots, that they are so determined to make everything asymmetrical that they add just outstandingly bad elements to pieces of gear like single strange spikes coming out of the side of your arm or whatever that big poofy thing is on the handkinds crafting shirt. Nor does it come from the fact they have no idea what kind of overall aesthetic they want to have in the game, so they just throw it all in without rhyme or reason. Is the game High Fantasy? Modern? Anime? Cyber Punk? Old West? Fortnite-esk? (although this is number 2 on the list).

The actual biggest sin is that when you dye something it does not dye that color, but a variation of that color dependent on the base color of the piece and nearly the whole thing becomes different shades of that color instead of single elements of the piece. Oh that and they use so many colors that they do not have dyes for, that between the colors mixing and the lack of dyes, it is impossible to match certain pieces of gear unless you go pure black or pure white.

Yeah I must say I really don't like that the dress is attached to the upper body

If I had a gil every time my gear dyes pink when using red dye....

Also why is some gear dyable and some aren't, all dungeon gear should be dyable since it's basically just for glamours

It's always irritating when you see a pic of the gear thinking that you like the top part and not the bottom, and have this glam idea for the top. Then you find out later when you're trying to buy just top from the vendor, that the "bottom" part that you don't want is actually part of the top.

This so much (T_T). The devastating disappointment is real with those pieces.
