This is getting ridiculous. (Endwalker MSQ and post MSQ spoilers)

I'm moreso worried about all that players are willing to defend. We continue to shrug and give these things a pass. At this rate we'll come to accept all future dungeon gear being reskins, tome gear being the only new designs, or naturally embracing the fact that we have higher level dungeons giving just accessories. I really don't want this to be what's in store for us, especially when the devs can't do so much as shuffle the reused gear around onto different jobs. I loved the pvp dragon themed set for MNK/SAM and always wanted it for DRG. Seeing it on a caster or healer would've been wild and a break from all the robes.. So much for that.

I could be remembering it wrong but was this not how DLC started? Testing the waters to see what they could get away with and see who would buy into it until it became a regular thing? My thoughts keep going towards us heading to this, but atm I do feel that it's too early to tell and this could just be a coincidence.
