[Petition] Remove Genderlocked Costumes

[Jasmyne]

It's still one, as you're equating one argument (glamour) against a completely different one (class balance). I'm not advocating for racial gear unlock, but by your argument, the odds of a female Viera using your very same RSE are pretty high, in fact many of them do and use parts of them for their glamours (like the boots! I use them, too!), but stuff like the High House Justaucorps, which is male only when it could easily be made to fit a female toon, or the Expeditioner's Coat, which would be EASIER to fit on a female toon yet it's still male exclusive, THOSE have no reason to be gender-restricted.

(As an aside, I've seen no request for unlocking racial emotes to other races, just gender-restricted emotes like DRK/DRG idle stance or Vposes)

I never said they were one in the same. I took a general concept of homogenization and pointed out how it's become very common along the direction that SE has decided to take. It doesn't really matter if it's a different kind of homogenization, because it still is exactly that. And you're right that it's very high that other Viera would be wearing the same RSE so why would I want everyone else to as well?

I understand why my argument is the controversial one, because it's very easy for me to say "It just makes sense for everyone to be allowed to wear the same thing" Instead of acknowledging the glaring problems that could come as a result of it. I've made my main point several times but everyone just wants to stick with the whole "jobs and glamour are not the same thing" Yah obviously, but that's not the point. The point is that you shouldn't be able to have everything that you want on a whim. No one wants to acknowledge possible negative consequences to making everything open and equal to all races/jobs/gameplay... it creates a gameplay experience that's not really worth working hard for, because everyone is exactly the same. It reminds me of that quote from the pixar movie The Incredibles "When everyone is super muahahahaaa.... no one will be"

Well said. The game already suffers from it to a significant extent.
