Hold on SE. Since when we were able to equip two of the SAME unique accessory?

It's not the first time they have non-unique accessory screenshots from their test server.

Don't get your hopes up.

Look at both pictures

First picture: she is wearing two different rings. On a "recommended gear" window are two of the same ring listed for those slots, with arrows pointing to each slot which has an upgraded/better piece available. Only one ring has that arrow, implying that she only has one of the same ring.

Second picture: she is now wearing two rings with the same icon. Nothing proves she is wearing exactly what was showing in the "recommended gear" list, so we cannot conclude that both her rings are the same.

No, that is because she is already wearing one of the ring, and the other one is being suggested for the slot.

I see, don't know why I didn't notice that . Going by her stats, she is wearing two healing rings in the second picture.

Its a developer error. It happens.

This are their testing server. They have access of testing tools that we can't. Which is logical. Probably they can equip anything they want for test purposes.

That is correct.
But the "recommended gear" window can also just success that he (or she) can wear the ring also on the other hand to upgrade that other hand, not necessarily that the ring can be equipped twice.

Could we perhaps get the "unique" qualifier removed from tomestone gear?

This is a particular problem for SMN and BLM (and also possibly some of the healer jobs?). Since the advent of meldable gear, it has become impossible to carry well-specced gear sets for both caster jobs.
BLM wants as much spell speed as possible, whereas it ranks lowest among the secondaries for SMN (better than 2.X when it was virtually a blank stat, but still worse than crit and determination) so the jobs often want the same pieces, but with different melds. I would be fine with acquiring each piece twice and melding them differently, but at the moment I am prevented from doing so since I cannot carry two of the same item.
Honestly I don't see what the unique qualifier accomplishes on tome gear. It's not rolled on, it's not convertible to GC seals (while current at least) and you can't wear two of the same item anyway (with the exception of rings) as the gear slots are all type-locked.

You can't meld SS on the Primal/Augmented Primal Ring of Casting in the first place as it is already at the cap. In fact, for both SMN and BLM for this ring you will be melding crit.
