Buddy you've been wearing the same glamour for like, 5 years now. Epitome of creativity right there.
... Having the same outfit for 5 years doesn't say anything about their ability to comment on this. Like, yeah ... they keep the same look and most or all of it is lvl1 glam. But it's not like they're in the default starting gear glam, it's at least a unique use of unpopular lvl1 glam and I have legit never seen someone else wear that outfit soooo *shrugs.

An ACTUAL example of how "Restrictions lead to more creativity" is .... Viera starter gear. Both ways actually.
I can legit say that 1/4 to 1/6 of Viera I see are just glamming over their gear with their starter gear cause it's basically grade A sexy lingerie. If this wasn't race locked? I'm 100% sure I'd see it faaaar more often than I currently see it. Tons of females of other races would be wearing Viera Starter glam. But ... because it's level 1 glam Viera can just pop it onto any gear they want at any level and not think about it which adds to them looking like a sea of clones as they have the power to put a highly appealing lingerie glam over any and everything they want. If they made the Thighlander Hemp top for everyone I'm sure this underwear for the 2nd least played anything in this game would become hella popular to.

You can just google the term, it's not made up. Many creatives do find that restrictions force them to think more creatively about how to do w/e they're doing.
I find that I take far more pride in my Whm and Dnc glams than the "Chocobo performer" glam I made around the Choco-race mask with nothing but lvl1 glams that any job could wear. Sure, it may look unique but it's not a thing that screams anything and I can run into people who have had similar ideas on how to use the mask. My Whm and Dnc glams are all or 90% locked to "hlr/ ranged" and as such I can't keep them when I go Tank or gather/ craft/ Sam.
