Please lift glamour restrictions!

I'm sorry you feel that locking gear to jobs so .

But you are acting like you still wouldn't have your structure for your character ,thats what is trippin me about everyone's comeback is I dont want it for myself. What we are arguing is not against your argument you in fact can still have your identity as u see fit.

But does my character have to share that identity no it does not, thats where you guys have it wrong. I and others made our characters for us, so we can dress them the way we want to the same way you can dress yours the way you want to. You wouldn't lose any structure for your own personal choice in glamour. The only thing that would change is everyone else would have more options and thats what you are arguing against is you are worried about what other peoples characters would be wearing. Im just not about that I dont care what another player is wearing , they are welcome to wear any crazy get up that their hearts desires.

Im not gona tell people that they are wrong for a certain glamour choice just because I personally dont like it. I bet those other games didnt have the silly gear options that we have in this one either , that is what makes this one different. You guys are just being selfish and want to place your lore beliefs on everyone else in the game.

Removing restrictions means precisely that there will be no individual job identity. Everyone being able to wear everything means we can't get outfits designed for one job or another, since it's available to everyone.

Right now, there's one, maybe two pieces of actual gear that looks the same across roles, that being the Holy Rainbow Shirt.

And before you ask, yes, I am annoyed that this gear is completely identical in everyway.

Thats your assumption tho, because obviously this would be a dev decision you are taking it a step futher than need be, just because people could wear what they wanted doesnt mean they would just stop making gear for each job.

That doesn't mean that they would just start making all class gear sets, because this is glamour so a tank would still have gear made for it are any jobs simply because of stat points. They could never go to an all jobs gear set and never would, this is called glamour its a paste over not actually wearing the gear. If what you are claiming was the case then everyone would have level one gear stats , and we both no thats not happening because its the illusion like everyone keeps saying and everyone keeps over looking.

It would change if we actually wore the gear and it wasnt glamour, but because its a paste over then there would be no reason each job would ever not have their on gear sets made forever. So nobody would lose thier identity, it would just be some people wearing what they want and others wearing their traditional stuff its called variety and there is nothing wrong with that.

Snip.

Not an assumption. If they did start doing this, gear would have to look extremely generic so that it can match any job, which on its own already removes class identity. Even if, say, a DRG wears job specific stuff, he'll still look identical to that SCH over there wearing the exact same gear. Remove restrictions, and rather than having structure, you singlehandedly turn everyone into a generic carbon copy of everyone else. There's nothing anyone could do to stand out visually, or thematically.

I don't see why anyone would promote that. I'll take my diversity, and happily, thanks!

Not true at all. As far as looks are concerned few people are wearing their job gear today. Removing restrictions on glamours won't make people look any more similar than they already do. Only real difference would be that mages can look like tanks then. Tanks can already look like mages, so making that symmetrical would be nice.


Judging from other games, removing restrictions will mean more diversity, not less.
