It's time to remove job restrictions on glamour...

[Misutoraru]

Right...because my paladin tanking in the old fishing gear is totally fitting for my role (nabaath set chest is old gathering gear)

There is no reason why role restrictions cant be lifted on glamour.

But I agree on the Job specific stuff. I don't want to see a tank rolling around in goon artifact glam but the rest is a moot point ( since all SE does is recolor old stuff mostly anyways)

that's more of lazy design and should not be encourage, and there are some old gear dont fit the role theme, like i said earlier, we have something dont fit doesnt mean all out of sudden have to go down that pit.
What we should have is expanding the non restricted glamours, we have some and we could use more of it

[Arrius]

I'm all for opening up class gear for glamour. There is no such thing as a healer looking goofy in metal armour when you have all that nonsense glamour like the dumb Frog Suit or a tank running around in a bikini. We are past that point already.

Because they know players enjoy 'fun' vanity items and give them out as rewards to shake up things and have you enjoy something less serious.

But that will never be the norm.

The RDM duellist attire* is not made of heavy materials but cloth and leather to make us nimble for our melee combat, and archers* do not wear heavy armor either. Dragoons* do not wear silk and satin, do they? Because it simply does not make sense. A tank running around in a nightgown, sorry, white mage robe?

And all of this is thrown out the window because any other leisure item you can wear.
Kinda hard to defend anything when you can freely wear Snowmen and Frogs in dungeons.

With that said, this wouldn't be an issue if they made the gear on here more diverse.
Like the aforementioned healer sets, they suffer the most with the same, tired ol' gowns.
It's very possible to make a healer + tank mix set. They really need some help with making
gear for healers though. I'm so tired of the constant boring robes.

[CaptainFishSticks]

I both agree and disagree.

On gear that isn't obviously class-specific like the job artifact gear, I would like to see those restrictions lifted. I have so many outfits that I could put together but can't because I main a class that cannot use it; but job-specific gear should remain job-specific, no matter what.

Or, at the very least, give crafting classes the ability to 'disable' the class requirements of gear at the cost of stripping all stats from them, and make them glamour-only.

[Duskane]

No ones even asking for job gear
Most people want those unique because it what represents the class

But generic leveling,tome, dungeon, alliance etc etc should be for all when stored in glamour dresser (to avoid HW acc scenario but with Armor)

So many times I've gone "these are perfect Shame I can't wear it with this other role lock gear".

We can already break your immersion. So what harm does it do to remove role restrictions? I mean I can understand keeping job specific gear locked because that gear is designed around a specific job, but role gear is often fairly generic and with the prolific amount of glam gear we have, your immersion is already being broken by frog suit wearing melee dps, giant moogle tanks, and casters in tuxedos with pig heads.

Here's just a smattering of the possibilities we can already do:

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

I am for this idea, EXCEPT for artifact gear. This includes the crafting and gathering job specific glamours. We need to keep something that is unique for each job.

Maybe also keep the most current raid gear (both 8 and 24 players) locked to specific roles, and then unlock later once the content is old.

But yes, the idea that we don't want new players to be confused by the gear people are wearing is just kind of a silly concept at this point with how much non conforming gear sets we have already.

[Arngrim_Greyashe]

I would rather they focus on something else than going back to remove restrictions on things that I personally feel should still have the restrictions.

[Corue]

Tanks in bikinis are perfectly acceptable but healers in anything else other than a white robe would cause the fragile lore to crumple in on itself please understand.

Tanks in bikinis are perfectly acceptable but healers in anything else other than a white robe would cause the fragile lore to crumple in on itself please understand.

Healers get things that are not white robes.

Even with role-locked gear.

And they can wear a bikini just as easily as the tank can.

Do people just choose to ignore the exceptions so they can keep complaining about "nothing but robes"?
