Future players certainly will not care about the contest, and they most certainly will not understand why one set looks fully designed while the rest look lacking.

The contest is no reason to be lazy and not add effects to all sets.
Yea, the contest does matter. It doesn't matter how many times you try to refute it, it does matter. Where was all of this faux outrage over the tank contest gear? The healer contest gear? Are we going to run into these entitlement issues with the melee and ranged contest gear too? They HAVE to create sets referenced on the ORIGINAL DESIGN of the caster gear so the other jobs don't feel completely left out. But, what they don't have to do is make them all the same. That's not what the gear contests are about at all. They're about shining the spotlight on the specific jobs for the gear, not make everyone look and feel the same. Again, where were these complaints over the Lost Allagan Tank gear and why healers didn't have this or casters didn't have that. You can't speak for the other players, you're not their voice, and no one likes it when people make generalized assumptions about how they should feel.

If players didn't care about the contest, then they wouldn't bother to enter and the developers wouldn't bother to hosts the content. So, that point of your's is moot. Furthermore, you're making bold assumptions that future players would even care that the caster set looks different over the others and that they would feel so entitled to whine and nitpick over it as you and the TC are doing now. Stop using the "new/future players" as a reasoning because you're making generalized assumptions that don't hold any water since you can't speak for everyone from all three different regions. Neither can I in that regard, however, I also don't whine because one job has something different that I want. I just go level the job and be done with it.

It's people that feel like they're entitled towards having everything without putting any effort forth is what ruins it for everyone else usually. If you want special effects on your other jobs, draw some entries and hope they win, but don't sit there and complain when you don't get what you want for your job. You should be happy you got anything at all from SE and they could have just implemented the specific job gear only. For example, tank contest (only tanks get new gear), healer contest (healers get new gear), etc.

You're just looking entitled and ungrateful.
