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.
