[Suggestion] Remove the role restrictions on the YoRHa gear?

[Tsalmaveth]

I think people are missing the point: The stats and earning the gear is still a thing. You need the gear for the roles but being able to glam the pieces onto any class you are at level for should be allowed after you have earned it. Why NOT? I don't get why people would have their proverbial knickers in a twist about it. People still have to 'do the work' and still need the 'stats' for their role... you still have the 'iconic look' in the Artifact Sets (which should NOT be unlocked) but the rest of the gear? Let people BE FREE.

My Healers already have a 'heavy plate set' created using gear I collected from raids/dungeons: Chest - Gordian Gown of Healing / Gloves - Bonewicca Soother's Gauntlets / Boots - Bonewicca Soother's Sabatons. - The idea of 'robes for healers uwu' is out the window, just look at the latest Deepshadow set, all that chainmail and heavy armour strapped to it. Hmmm. Stop trying to impose your ideas/ideals of what healers 'should' be on me/us. If that's how YOU want to play one, go for it. But others, including the developers, have other ideas.

Not to mention they've already released a full set of the Skypirate that is purely glamour, indicating they're fully aware our desire for freedom across the classes. Opening up cross-glam support for pieces earned, while people still need to wear the gear appropriate to their classes under it, is not that big of a deal. People will still mix and match and create unique and inspired glams using various pieces from all over the place. Not EVERYONE is 'wear everything from just one set!' one-note-wonders... a lot of people create sets using pieces they deliberately have to go and find using various sources. I completely support this request. Again. Because it's not the first time it's been made.

Case in point. With FFXI’s equivalent system I can ‘glamour’ anything to any job. What problems does it cause? Absolutely none. Does it mean my BLU can wear full heavy armour? damn straight it can. Does it matter? No. It doesn’t ruin my immersion that my character can wear things. It makes sense to lock items, particularly with things like stats to certain jobs or roles, the inability to wear a piece of gear surely would be the immersion breaker. If I changed jobs IRL from a carpenter to a chef I can still wear my carpentry apron.

It’s likely also why some RPG’s instead of restricting what you can wear you gain benefits through proficiencies instead, save restricting what they can physically wear. From a mechanical standpoint it wouldn’t make sense here. But for a Mage to be able to glamour a pirate hat is not game or immersion breaking and I cannot think of a viable reason to restrict this beyond any limitations in the system. AF I can maybe understand to the degree of retaining job fantasy.
