[Dev Request] Expanding Glamour Options (Craft/Gather)

[Norna]

There really should not be any class restrictions on glamour in this game. I mean, our current situation is this:

Bikini Tank = Okay!
Healer in cloth shirt = Bad!

Tank in Caster Robes = Okay!
Caster in Tank Gauntlets = Bad!

How about putting our casters in a simple shirt or tunic, is it too much to ask? Apparently so!

Meanwhile...

"But it would be too confusing for other players not to know your class at a glance!" = Me being all and

Bikini Tank = Okay!
Healer in cloth shirt = Bad!

To be fair, every other job except the Bard can't wear the Bard Shirt as well

I want my botanist look to be exclusive to being a botanist. I'm okay with everything else but I think AF gear should continue to stay exclusive to the job.

Agreed, and yes please! You're example with the specific DoH/DoL and then the multi DoW/DoM is perfect.

When he said that I had a mixture of emotions, ranging from confusion to aggravation... it's outlandish and downright stupid. It's also why I get extremely sarcastic when posting about multi-classing class gear - "I'd get so confused to the point of insanity... a WHM wielding a... lance... I can't handle it, what class is he, he isn't healing and his symbol indicates an unknown class!!!!" - and so on.

Do they really think such stupidity exists?

I would not at all be surprised if they in fact had hard data on that.

There are a lot of unique gloves/boots/headgear that would look amazing on other jobs and when mixed right they make some really nice glamour (try it out for yourself using the Save Equipment function via "Try On").

I didn't mention it in the OP but the one job that would greatly benefit from this would be the Machinist. There isn't a lot of glamours you can use to get that Machinist or Mechanic feel for your Machinist glamour outside Ironworks/Artifact Machinist gear/And a few Crafting Doublets.

I provided an example of a MCH glamour in the OP using the Miners body. You could probably come up with some neat themed glamours with the Blacksmith or Armorer jobs as well.
