Standard missed opportunity rather than a loss, though I have mixed feelings on it.

On the one hand it's an improvement that they get level 80 gear at all – RDM/SAM get nothing at 60 and DNC/GNB nothing at 70 – but now it has set a precedent for just reusing the starter gear instead of a second design, which is disappointing.

I've posted before that I'd really like to see all these later jobs get an extra "unique" outfit at this stage: still recycled models like the starter gear, but it's one more opportunity to give them something that suits the job but might never be given to the role. For example, I'd love to see RDM get the Dravanian DPS set, but those designs have never been applied to other roles. It's unlikely to ever be assigned as "mage gear" but would be perfect as RDM gear and there's a gap waiting to be filled.
