It would throw it out the window; if that was the position they wish to hold, but I've actually never read it anywhere of them making this statement. While I am sure that the devs appreciate it when players stick to form when choosing the glamours for their chosen job; if they were adamant about them looking a certain way, the pig suit type glamours would not exist. What I think gets misconstrued is when restrictions are placed on gear, it is the gear that they want to maintain an identity with; not the job/role that wears it.

However I will say this, Im not for just unlocking glamour with no restrictions. The way I feel it should work is pretty simple: If you want to glamour it, you have to have a class that can wear it. So as an example, if I want my WHM whos lvl 60 to wear PLD lvl 50 gear, I need to have the PLD class leveled to 50 and be able to equip that gear. Level restrictions also still stand, so if I had a lvl 60 PLD and a lvl 50 WHM, I cant glamour the lvl 50 WHM in lvl 60 PLD gear because the WHM isnt high enough. I think this will cut down on the concept of 'weird glamours' that the devs worry about while also providing more incentive for people to level alternate classes/roles.
This goes back to my previous statement. If they did this, they might as well abolish restrictions all together. There'd be no point as absolutely nothing would have an identity anymore. The moment they lift the restriction on a WHM Cleric's robe, the exclusivity that is intended for that piece of gear goes right out the window. This will never happen during this game's lifetime, or at least so long as Yoshi-P is at the helm.
