    Everything seems to be getting shoehorned in to Magic OR War OR Hand OR Land. ie: You can't choose to be a Thaumaturge, Goldsmith, Fisher and Pugulist and wear the same gear.

    Actually, Thaumaturges can't wear the new shirts at all any more... *cry*

    So in the end, each class is forced to pick between only two or three types of clothing.

    ((Disclaimer: If it is undyed, it doesn't count. It also doesn't count if the optimal rank is way out from your own.))
    though to be fair if you were actually looking for stats that mattered for each job you couldn't wear the same stuff for all those classes before anyway, it was just that the stats barely mattered.

    Pft - stuff the stats. I care about APPEARENCE. But even if the gear wasn't optimal before, I could still wear it. Now, if I want to wear something, I HAVE to play a specific class type to a specific level first. ;_;

    Yea, I care a lot about appearance as well, but at the same time this gives more value to it by making you get more creative with what is available. Also keeps you looking a bit more like your class, I think in time, as the game grows and there's a larger selection of armor that won't be such a big issue. I'm just surprised that we lost a lot of stuff that was just easy reskins this update.

    Well, yes there are positives too. I'm just a little frustrated about what I've lost.

    With a little time and more exploration on what is available, I'll probably get over it. >_>

    That and, for me, it's pretty much the main reason I'm leveling gladiator.
