Request - Make class specific 50 and 60 crafter/gatherer gear available to all jobs

[Niwashi]

So you'd rather see the gear sit unused?

No, I use it a lot. And I'm glad that now that we have the glamour dresser, it's easier than ever to get more use out of them. Every time I switch to leatherworker, I look like a leatherworker. Every time I switch to blacksmith, I look like a blacksmith, and so on for all eight DoH. I wish there were enough glamour plates to do the same for DoL and combat jobs too, and hopefully there eventually will be, but we've already got the basis for the feature that ensures we don't have to look the same on different classes any more.

Your answer boils down to pretty much "Just because..." and nothing else.

I never said anything even remotely like "just because". My reason is that they were designed to exemplify the look of a particular job. AF (regardless of whether we're talking combat AF or DoH/DoL AF) exemplifies the look that helps define a particular job. That's what it's for. That's what it was designed to do. And that's the entire reason we even get such gear in the game.

You're basically saying you don't want SE to make specialized gear any more, that everything should be blandly generic. I don't want everything to be generic. I want to be identifiably a goldsmith, or a weaver, or an alchemist, etc. by looking like each of those jobs whenever I'm on them. It's even more important for DoH than it is for combat jobs, since that appearance is the only distinction between them we have.

Your reasoning can be applied to any gear in this game that recolored and switch for other jobs to use. Example: Panegyrist's Chestwrap/Prophet's Chestwrap is now Ghost Barque Chestwrap of Maiming.

My reasoning doesn't fit that in the slightest. Those were never designed to exemplify the look of a specific job in the first place. They were always generic, so I think we should be able to use any of those (as glamour) for any job. The only reason for any split was stat related, not visual.
