Why can't the DoH/L gear be made usable for DoW/M for glamour purpose?

[Zari]

I think that, for the most part, they shouldn't let class restrictions on gear also restrict glamour (except maybe in some cases like AF gear)

Especially when you see NPCs of certain classes wearing things they shouldnt be able to as that class

[LunaHoshino]

Ok, what about a tank wearing the WHM AF2 set?

I don't see how that would be weirder/any more confusing than all of the bikini tanks I see running around.

It wouldn't need to be changed ti all classes it would just need to be unlocked as "projectable"

So the restriction remains yet you can project it onto other classes.

This argument doesn't really hold any water, by virtue of the multi-class system... If a player leveled weaver, got the weaver AF, and then glamoured it onto their tank set... another player could STILL look at them and say, "That person is a Weaver". >_>

Having inquired into this back when glamour was first introduced, glamour won't show if you switch to a class different than the intended glamour. If you switch out of weaver, original item is displayed instead of the weaver glamour. Otherwise you would have scholars wearing white mage robes, and warriors dressed as paladins, which doesn't happen.

You know what would be nice? If they could be worn by any class, but only conferred stats to a class you specialize in.

You know, that might make specialization mean... something. Besides getting a handful of skills that all suck.

I know that. I was arguing that class/job shouldn't matter.

What the OP says would be FUN. As you all should know, FUN is frowned upon in all MMO games, or more probably all computer games. It may be severely frowned upon, as in <insert here the MMO game you hate most>, or more mildly frowned upon, as in FF14, but frowned upon it is. No escaping that. :P
