*sigh* I knew peeps would grab this and take it beyond Yoshi's intentions.

I would like to point out a couple of things out from this interview with Yoshi:

German Media : Glamour restriction seem to be very hard since you can only glamour items of your own class or fellow classes that share the item. Would it be possible in the future for example to have a White Mage being able to glamour parts of Paladin’s gear ?

Yoshida : But then it wouldn’t be a White Mage anymore !
I already know the playerbase is going to rip this comment apart by all the available glamours for a white mage that make it look like anything but a white mage. I am not sure if what Yoshi is saying is lost in translation, but the truth here is that by allowing a WHM to glamour PLD gauntlets, is it no longer makes them belong to PLD. The job doesn't lose it's identity; the gear does.

German Media : The community was thinking about just some parts like hands or boots that really fits with the other outfits.
R.O.L.M.F.A.O.

Please. If we want the forums to represent the community, it is quite clear from the posts here that they are thinking more than just hands and boots. Give an inch, take a mile. SE gave that inch long ago, and now the community demands for all restrictions to be lifted. Even AF.

Yoshida : But everybody have their own taste, if there is one person that think that those Paladin’s gloves would fit really good with their White Mage outfit and that’s just one person opinion and some people might think that looks ridiculous.

That said, we are not completely closed to opening up certain types of equipment to make them all classes availables when it comes to the glamour system.
This right here should let everyone know that one voice does not represent all. SE acknowledges that they have a diverse playerbase and have to make judgment calls based on their own vision of the game and player demand. They like for these to line up as much as possible, obviously.

Do any of you honestly think SE has any intention of going over old code and fixing it to lift restrictions? Hell no they don't. That is why they have continuously released color palette swaps of recently released gear, and reusing old designs. They are however open to releasing previous designs, like say skirts of fending/striking/maiming for all classes. But several decide to express their desire for all restrictions to be lifted. This is not what he's looking for; at all. I am quite sure he is already WELL aware of this demand.
