    Tank wear plate, melee/ranged DPS wear leather, casters wear mostly long cloth. You see that nearly everywhere - Movies, TV series, Anime. And that's how SE wants the game to presented in trailers and screenshots, because through their visual design you can spot who is what.

    The fact you can glamour it all with swimsuits and whatnot is just a handwave to give the players some degree of freedom of how they want to look themselves.
    At the same time you also have tank pieces like the shisui set and sky rat set. Tank specific gear but certainly not heavy armor.

    The Ruby Cotton Bandanas can only be worn by Monks, Samurai and Ninjas. They should be made available to all. The OG Pirate Bandanas were not so restrictive.

    The skimpiness of these sets apply to all the roles. Not just tanks, so I wouldn't consider them 'tank specific' so much as I would look at them as being the 'tank version' of that particular set of gear. Shisui sets in particular are not practical for combat by any means, for any role. Sets like these are similar to lv1 glamour options, and serve to lessen SE's grip on glamour restrictions. But instead of players seeing these sets as a means to loosen restrictions, they see them as a slap in the face to the restrictions that remain in place.

    Sorry to say this, but sets like Shisui I see as SE saying, "Hey, I know some of the stuff I impose is a drag, so here's a pony." and the spoiled child says, "Eff your pony, I want a theme park!"

    I don't mind if they keep with the trend of releasing glamour variants of gear, but I wish they would step it up a notch and continuously add them in instead of a few here and there.

    Fabulous, and if glamour restrictions were loosened no one would hold a gun to your head and force you to dress like him!

    Several tribes of the Steppe do not follow our glamour restrictions. The person who designs NPCs had fun bending the rules.

    It was a unique theme and partially saw a reoccurrence as a dyeable summer event reward, too. So they knew exactly what they were going for with that and bent the rule a bit.

    If there is any argument for keeping some restrictions it is for the artifact gear. A lot of people (not everyone) don't want to see an iconic White Mage robe and have that character not currently be a white mage. The other side is that if your character earned that gear why shouldn't they be able to use it?

    The thing about some of these sets is that not all pieces are iconic. For White mage the robe definitely is. The pants aren't even seen and pretty much just look like swimsuit bottoms. The boots are hardly seen. and the gloves are seen but are not immediately noticed. They are pretty simple and thus could be useful in other sets without treading on the white mage look.
