Weapons and Soul Crystal

[Wintersandman]

If its more effort for them to remove those options than it is to keep them there, why remove them? I just dont see a good reason to bother with this in the first place

A. They already make weapons that are job only.
B. The reason I am asking is I play on different systems and when setting up gear sets. Some weapons auto equip my soul crystal, some do not and it is a purely QoL adjustment.
C. I can't see any logical reason why the base class is still there on gear that is post 50.

Issues brought forth so far

1.0 - Gear that is post 50 they can't equip anyways
Retainers - They can get a soul crystal
Squadron - It's for purely glamour which you won't be able to glamour some items anyways since they are job specific.

None of these are really justified to keep it in place.

There is an easy fix for that: its called "gearsets" and transfering your clientside-data from one system to another one, if you switch between the two of them (friends of mine are doing it all the time because they're traveling a lot). And even if you're not transfering your data all the time: you have to set those gearsets up ONCE and then you can change between them with one single click. Not setting up gearsets seems just as lazy to me as me not wanting to assign jobs to my retainers.

You did not read. When setting up gearsets (you can see this when you quoted me). Sometimes travel isn't planned and playing isn't planned so transferring isn't always an option. I just happened to be in Portland the past 6 days and decided to jump on. When I did I was setting up gearsets and this just seemed illogical that some weapons auto assign gearsets and some don't especially when I am equipping 70 gear where classes are completely discouraged.
