STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

I don't think so, role-specific gear does the work of distinguishing players according to their jobs at the time of playing, I would certainly not want to see several Samurais and Dragoons in the party using the same glamour as the Tank, classes and jobs would loose meaning.


Role gear is a matter of distinction and it should continue to be.

My healer glam wears the striking set reskin, and no one has any trouble seeing that I'm an AST. Several dungeons offer reskins to new roles. We can wear frog suits. The only reason it's locked is so that SE can re-release it later as crafted sets instead of making new gear.

Now THAT is my tinfoil hat theory and prove me wrong.

This kind of loses its distinction when you have sets like, say a lot of the Nier raid sets, the shisui sets, etc. I can agree when it comes to job specific gear that actually defines those jobs. But there's plenty of say tank gear that isn't actually defensive looking, plenty of aiming gear that doesn't exactly scream bard/mch/dnc, plenty of casual wear glams that aren't combat oriented at all etc. In fact, other than tank sets generally having a bit of extra armor, the sets generally aren't really role defining in their aesthetics outside of actual AF sets once per expansion.

And considering you can go back and get older gear from prior expansions much easier than it was to get at the start, it doesn't really define you as having played 'at that time' either. Heck I didn't do MM until several patches after it released and yet I can rock my dyed af sets just as easily as those that did it day one.
