Please lift glamour restrictions!

[Vaeria]

That might be true, if we were talking about adding more. This thread, however, doesn't suggest adding anything. It's proposing to take away a feature that many people care about in order to use its items elsewhere instead. For people who don't care about job gear and just want a few more generic items, then yes, it represents getting a few more generic items they can use however they'd like. But for people who want job gear, that whole feature would be taken away entirely. And that's a pretty bad trade-off.

When I complete my next White Mage quest, I want to be able to wear the iconic set that identifies me as a fully trained White Mage. You're proposing that I should no longer be allowed to do that.

Can you read Niwashi? Yes, you say? Good! (I had absolute faith you could!) Now that that's been established, lets read the title with this thread together, shall we~ 'PLEASE LIFT GLAM RESTRICTIONS." Contrary to your above statement, yeaaaaaah...that actually does suggest adding stuffs. Cuz like, ya know, when that ol restriction gets lifted, extra options get opened up that weren't previously there. Cool, huh? ...no? /le sigh.

So you think that, by asking for a lift on gear glam restrictions, Im proposing you no longer be allowed to be identified as a certified, bonified, professional, gee golly wiz state-o-the-art whitemage? That because some drg lets the same white robes as you flap in the wind as hes jumping insteada healing, your very ff-ish persona is devalued beyond all hope of salvation, hmmmm?? Heres the thing....gonna say it ooone more time, purely for the sake of saying it one more time: Live...and let live. I couldn't care less if you took said robes, stripped completely nekkie, wrapped them around a lance, went to Uldah...and beat the 1st homeless lala you came across senseless with them. What you choose to do (or not do) with your valued time honored well earned job gear..means less to me than the rocks squished into the patterns on the bottom of my shoe.

"I don't wanna see my precious armor on someone who has no right to wear it."

Why the hell should I have to be subjected to a standard you wanna inflict upon yourself when I couldn't give a crap about the lore? Contrary to what you may think..this isn't a 2-way arguement that goes both ways. By maintaining such a restriction...you get your way...while I suffer. In reverse, by lifting said restriction, you can maintain your traditional love while I get to make cool new designs. You still have 100% access to the pieces of your chosen profession...to be used however you so see fit. Nothing...contrary to your claims...is being 'taken away' from you.

"B-but people will get confused because my great whm-ness will no longer stand out as unique and that nasty drg will take some of mah glory away!" ~~well gee..thats what the "Examine' function is for.


Not speaking about you personally my dear Niwashi...but this has GOT to be, collectively, one of the biggest instances of grossly misplaced sentimentality me has ever come across.
