Make Crafting Gear "All Classes" Again?

Just as the title suggests, I've noticed that there's been a shift for crafting gear. I believe the change started to occur in Stormblood (feel free to correct me on that if I'm wrong), but in ARR and Heavensward, crafting gear used to be accessible to all classes for both stats and glamour uses alike (mostly for glamour uses, lbvs). As of now, this is no longer the case.

I'm wondering if the dev team has noted anywhere why this change was made? There's a lot of crafting gear that's come out over the course of the last few expansions that I would love to have as glamours on battle classes (AF crafting gear included), and I would love to possibly see this change reversed.

Mind you, if they have good reason for why they went back to restricting it I might be willing to concede, I was mostly just curious. Thanks for reading!

Bc ppl would wear it on battle jobs for easier materia bonding, mostly...

Good point, I remember that being a MAJOR thing prior to Stormblood xD

Outside of people flooding the marketboard with said materia (as they often end up doing anyways depending on the server), I just want the ability to glam these items again. xD

Is this really an issue with how easily people farm scrips and flood the market with materia anyways though?

I just make it usable by crafters and gatherers respectively only, like combat gear *Shrugs* "DOH only, DOL only" etc

For better or for worse, crafting gear skins often eventually become available for DoW/M via later-expansion crafted gear or new glamours. Or vice versa.

The poncho set is a good example of gear getting this treatment.

Hard no on AF crafting gear unless crafters/gatherers will get the ability to glam AF battle gear.

When it comes to glamour, we have a thread about lifting all role glamour restrictions and limitations. This includes both DoW/DoM and DoH/DoL. Please consider supporting it and keeping it going so we might actually see change one day: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...ther-jobs-sets

I don't want sprouts wearing them at dungeon... I had a trauma back in ARR about WHM on Stone Vigil who wears a combination of crafter and gatherer's gear... :(

I'd like my gathering gear to all be usable in one set instead of hogging up my armory chest with separate sets :/

You've given me second hand PTSD. Thanks!

To comment on the thread; yeah, sure. I don't like glam restrictions in any scenario really.

No they shouldn't don't need a tank in full crafting gear and being the healer trying to keep them alive. Then get blamed because they keep dying from it.

If there is a way to lift the glam restrictions without allowing battle classes to actually equip the gear then yes please. I'd love for that to be able to be done. But please no, do not let battle classes equip them ever again. As others have said, it was done to prevent people not only easily farming materia but also cheesing ilvl requirements by equipping it or just not knowing that there is a difference and thinking it works for battle classes.
