The problem is, there is no racial culture at all anyway. There's zero mention anywhere in 2.0 about the different races, their backgrounds, their cultures. This is something that largely is down to the races at 1.0's launch catering to the large XI playerbase they were expecting to migrate, making their transition into Eorzea a more familiar experience. Do you really think the equipment races can or can't wear in anyway makes up for this lack of lore? Do you think it even contributes slightly? It doesn't for me. It's been a frustration since launch that there isn't any immersion anywhere into the races and their backgrounds and a piece of clothing hardly fills this void.

You say that I don't care about lore, but I don't really understand where this is coming from. There is zero lore about the way races dress or why other races don't follow their fashion trends. How can you break what isn't there? I'm normally a champion of the "It's lore breaking!" justification for dismissing suggestions but its use here is completely irrelevant. There is no existing lore to be broken.

The only reason I'd suggest race specific gear not being exclusive to its original race is because the whole concept is outdated with the advent of the glamour system. It was originally designed to stop every new player looking identical - but we don't anyway thanks to glamour. Mission complete, handshakes all round. Time to let it go and raise the exclusivity, in my opinion, or at least release some remotely similar gear for other races to glamour in.

I did my best to ignore the needlessly belligerent tone in your replies, but this is just too much. You're using pink Gallant armour, so I think it's safe to call you a hypocrite here?
