So uh... whats up with the end game gear designs lately?

From my perspective, I think the issue stems from taking one armor set like the tank contest winner or some of the genji armor and trying to expand that design theme to other armor types only for it to look either drab or just unimpressive.

Wouldn't be so bad though if some of the best glamours in the game right now weren't DoH/DoL-locked. Kinda makes sense for endgame crafting and gathering gear, but I felt that offering them dyeable versions of some leveling gear that isn't dyeable for combat jobs was just a slap in the face.

Yeah, this is annoying. The DoH/DoL items have better dye patterns than the generic versions (or straight up look better because the model is improved), yet they're locked due to a tiny minority of abuse cases which could have been easily resolved with a party kick. And that's not even starting on how amazing it would be to dress as a combat chef in battle. I hate being babied when it comes to fashion; I levelled all of those DoH jobs, it would be nice to display my profession proudly outside of Limsa Lominsa sometimes.

Although that wasn't really the gear I meant, it would be nice to get glamour sets from crafter and gatherer sets, especially when we know for a fact those already exist in other versions of the game. Still not as depressing as the people trying to argue against having those sets because of either a lousy excuse about distraction (because those Shisui outfits aren't distracting at all..../sarcasm) or some nonsense about immersion.

The sets I was referring to in particular were the level 65 sets. Crafters and gatherers can get dyeable versions of gear pieces that have fixed coloration setups for combat jobs and then arbitrarily locking them to crafters and gatherers only for seemingly no possible reason other than idiotproofing. Again, I could understand it for endgame DoH/DoL gear like the class-exclusive gear since there was some achievement that came with having it, but not so much for leveling gear and even for the Ironworks DoH/DoL gear.
