Raid gear is exclusive to raids too. What's the problem? I won't get any Omega gear this expansion until they unlock undersized because my group prefers to play together and we don't have enough people, but that's the choice I make for sticking with them and not joining one of the dozens and dozens of Omega groups recruiting every day. The only difference is that the Feast gear is limited, but it's still very possible to obtain it if you have a strong drive to do so.

It's weird because the new Feast set (which I do think looks awesome) actually incorporates a lot of features people complain about in the billions of previous gear design threads. Butt skirt, check. No clear indication of job, check. I like it but if this was the raid gear and the Genji sets came from Feast I bet there'd still be complaining.
