I get job identity when it comes to weapons and artifact sets.

But where is the 'job identity' in most of the sets? Other than fending armor usually having a bit more armor on it than the other sets in a group, there really isn't any. Take the Nier sets that just released. Or Sky Rat or Shisui sets. Or the new pvp sets? Why is the aiming set just as armored as the fending set? Where is the job identity when paladins and gunbreakers have the same gear? Red mages have a very different aesthetic to them than black mages as well.

I'm fine with say having to be able to equip the gear to glamour it. IE if you want to glamour that striking piece over your aiming piece, you need to have monk or samurai leveled to apply it. But I think opening up glamours (with the exceptions for job specific gear and weapons) would be a tremendous boon to customization.

That said, with their 1.0 spaghetti code idk if this is even feasible.
