    Yep, YoshiP denied the suggestion several times since ARR. He doesn't like the idea of a black mage wearing tank armor. Or a Monk wearing Dragoon maiming gear, that'd look too weird. People should let it go.

    There is a reason melee don't share a set between all of them compared to tanks and healers, aside from loot reasons.

    Unfortunately that attitude would make him a hypocrite if you would look at the list i made earlier, along with the fact that there are plenty of sets anyone can wear no matter what role as well as them completely ignore their own selfsame restrictions when designing npcs.

    That might have been a thing... once. Outside of artifact gear, armor sets have absolutely no job identity - especially now that most roles have jobs with conflicting styles (example being DRK and PLD / RPR and DRG). Just take a look at SHB and EW dungeon sets like the ones from Grand Cosmos or Tower of Babil or more recently Pandemonium. At this point it's more often that not that they're not just aesthetically similar, but also virtually identical design wise.
    Let's not also forget that almost every other NPC wears mixed gear, my favorite example being a character from the SAM quest line who wears a mixture of striking, healing and maiming gear despite being a samurai.

    Let us have some extra variety. There's nothing to lose from that.
