Please reconsider removing job restrictions on glamour armor

WHAT IF: A system wherein you could trade in spirit bound (even at 1%) gear to an NPC in exchange for a dye enabled, all class equip-able, replica of that very same piece of gear (possibly at a lowered equip/item level).

I'm ok with this as it doesn't mess with actual loot.

I think removing the class restrictions would end up the same way as things like pvp. The 110/130 stuff was unique to every class, then they transitioned to "role" gear so now there were only a few unique sets that they shared. Removing class restrictions would probably give the devs the idea "well we just make 1 now and everyone can use it and is happy, right?"

Right now they use glamour restriction to reuse designs by just switching the roles as well as using the same design for multiple roles in the same set. So yeah, I think removing the restriction might make them just use one design for the entire set.

...the Hussar set restricted to DRG which is found on the gunner/MCH? Hilda.

The Lv51 crafter/gatherer jackets have the same design. You can use those.

NPCs just generally don't seem to be programmed as actual classes though. There's some other system in place that lets them draw on everything.

I know about those, its just that the particular version with the red scarf is wholly restricted to DRG. And constantly seeing npc's with impossible outfit combinations just makes the devs feel hypocritical for upholding the arbitrary restrictions.

They are already reusing designs, some dungeons got just on unique set with minor variations. While most still have 3/4 unique variations where which role shares which looks is completely random.Then there are also the reused sets from older content. And i actually do doubt that they would just go down to one set every dungeon/raid since it would undoubtedly enrage a lot of players after a while.

That's...what I said.

Dungeon sets are not that important in terms of stats, so the main reason to have multiple designs is to differentiate between the roles. But if everyone can have the same design, it will be a cost saving move. It's not like they haven't done things to "enrage" a lot of players, like cutting the number of dungeons.
