PSA: The scourge of Eorzea

[PArcher]

There's three reasons I can think of why a competent/good player will equip accessories not for their job.
1) Spiritbonding. It happens, I know, but if you're in a dungeon, please have as much job-related SB gear on...don't care what you do at Urth's or in an overworld Castrum
2) Using another accessory to get into a PF they just miss the ilv req for. Not saying this is right or wrong, but if you are good enough and just miss the req I probably would never know you cheated it. But, if you aren't good enough and are found out...
3) Trolling.

Now, sometimes people will do weird runs and the like, but as long as its with a pre-formed group or static its fine. Going with randoms is closer to trolling

Just for reference, I'm a WAR and I use some STR accessories in most content (T9 and progression I go full VIT accessories; overworld anything and lowbie [Cutter's Cry and earlier] dungeons I have full STR accessories) and have a 20/10 STR/VIT attribute split. So I am someone who is "breaking the mold" for this part of the game.

I never see SMN's running around wearing Daystar gear so maybe people are your server are just goons.

Just going to say, SMN cannot equip Daystar left side, and the right side look exactly like Evenstar. You'd have to be gear-checking everyone (and mousing over every Sol accessory) to figure it out.
