Glamour Question

[Flaws]

What an original argument.

Have you ever told a player they "look the part", or receive likewise? Are you at least aware players get such compliments? What that is, is job/role identity, and the admiration of it.

Bikini tanks don't desire to look the part. There is nothing wrong with that, but they also don't look like a tank. The reason we are able to make that distinction is because of job/role identity. What players like the one you quoted are pointing out, is that they would prefer for those lines to not be blurred further. Can you comprehend that?

What's stopping you from looking the part if you only have more freedom to put on anything you want and not less? Who's to say that you can't look the part with some pieces from other roles's gear which would objectively make your glamour look even more the part than without having that freedom? I fail to understand why people still try to push this role/job identity idea as an excuse when it's been thrown out the window several expansions ago. I'll always give the Nier raids gear as a prime example. You mean to tell me that WAR shouldn't be allowed to put on the Striking chest piece from The Puppet's Bunker (the sleeveless coat) even though it would literally make more sense than the full sleeve one that tanks get? Thats just one of hundreds of examples.

The ONLY gear that should MAYBE be exempt from this is AF gear which was specifically designed for ONE job with actual JOB identity in mind. None of the other gear is designed with any specific job in mind and thats why newer jobs like GNB and DNC for example remain cucked because most of the previously existing gear for their role doesn't match that job aesthetic whatsoever, not even remotely. Other pieces from other jobs would fit way better but they can't put it on. You are literally preventing jobs from looking the part by having this restriction in the game and thats where the problem is for most of us.
