Incorrect. I can't be at fault if your bigotry clouds your comprehension.

Though I doubt anything else I say will allow you to see the picture since you just seem to like to argue, I will still try to spell it out...

Gear restricted by role DOES exist. Fact. Don't believe me, grab your tank or DPS job of choice, and glam a healing set to it. The DPS role however is different. This is because within the DPS role, they are further segregated based on how the job operates (caster, melee, ranged). This is not the case for the other two roles in the game (healer and tank). Within those two particular roles, all the gear is shared.

You're trying to beat into my head what I am already well aware of. All I am saying is despite the fact that further restrictions are placed on jobs belonging to the DPS role, they all still fall under the DPS category. Furthermore, main stat alone doesn't separate the jobs. Have you noticed that NINs, MCHs, and BRDs share accessories despite one being melee and the others ranged?

Pretty sure OP wants all restrictions removed. It is typical from a player who uses bikini tanks and chocobo suit glams as the base of their arguments. Again though, gear in this game IS ROLE LOCKED. If it wasn't, I would be able to put that lovely Arachne Short of Scouting on one or all of my healers. But I can't. Because it's ROLE LOCKED.

I am aware of how the two forms of logic work. Just because you attempt to dispute my statements doesn't make them disputable.
