Considering the bodies have barely any variation before or after gear goes on the hempen and starter gear is arguably more iconic to the races than you're trying to downplay them as.

It’s literally just a glam, it’s really not as deep as you make it out to be. But hey, like I said before, we all have different opinions.
Just a glam unique to those races. Iconic means it identifies those races. That they were made this way makes it more than just another opinion. This was by design, not limitations. I don't know where you get "deep" out of this.
Like someone else said, where does it end? When are you going to want fake tails/ears/horns from the other races? How about the actual starting gear that's been used to represent those races in other games?
Races having their own flavour of gear isn't a bad thing.
Well for starters, let’s get rid of the term “gear”, as this is glam, not “gear”. There are plenty of things in this game that were intended by design, such as RNG in crafting, and more. But they can easily get changed if the community demands it to be changed, which, it seems to be headed in that direction.Just a glam unique to those races. Iconic means it identifies those races.

Lastly, this is where it ends. It’s not practical nor logical to have this lvl 1 glam that’s been here for years to remain race locked for another 5 or 7 years. Also, “iconic” is the relating to or of the nature of an icon. Those glams themselves are an icon. The races themselves have more known emotes and animations than they do glam.
If you want that changed, start your own thread and see if it gets forwarded to Yoshida. Maybe you’ll get a response you want.
Why? Does calling it gear threaten your efforts to diminutize it? Everything you can wear is gear. Making your own definitions up doesn't change that. Games aren't design by the community, they just get to give feedback.Well for starters, let’s get rid of the term “gear”, as this is glam, not “gear”.

It's perfectly practical and logical to keep them unique as they are. Only those races can use them, any time you see them you know it's that race. It identifies them whether you like it or not.

This was never a question of practicality or logic in the first place. It was a straight desire to want more homogenization.
It's still part of that race at the end of the day.Whoa whoa, no need to get hostile, lol. We as a community come up with our own jargon, and “gear” just simply isn’t the correct term to use for what you are describing. That would be glam/glamour items.
Also...no. Just no. If you can’t distinguish a particular race from another by simply looking at their proportions, that is more of a personal issue I believe. What distinguishes them is their race. Not clothing. That makes absolutely no sense.
