    I agree with that to a point, while yes the idea of a DRK wearing WHM robes is silly, the current glamour system allows for equally silly things. Keep in mind, I agree with your overall point but from a standpoint of just allowing creativity, I agree with lifting the restrictions. At least to a degree. Things like the arachane tops and other more generic pieces of clothing that for some reason have class restrictions, shouldn't have those class restrictions.

    Same for some dungeon sets that are essentially the same thing just recolored several times over, the Woad sets from Sohm Al for example. Having glamour restrictions on these is just silly. Least in my opinion. Things however like the Dark Knight's armor? Yeah, that should remain exclusive to them. But then you have stuff that just overlaps to degrees, like in my opinion the BRD artifact set at 60 is just a mishmash of several different things we've seen plenty of with a couple flares added to it. The most unique thing to that set is the pants.

    This is a tricky question of where do you draw the line? And just drawing it in such a narrow way, stiffles creativity. I'm not gonna have my monk fighting in the BLM robes, that's silly. But if I had those BRD pants...I could create something very fitting of monk in a street brawler kind of way. Again, lets work to let jobs keep their identity but overall...lets not limit the creativity of everyone either.
