You believe that just because playful glamours are released, it defeats all purpose to continue to have restrictions on the glamour system. Players who are against lifting restrictions, or have an idea why they are in place have listed reasons from north to south. They cannot be faulted when those who want the restrictions to go away mulch their statements into reasonings based on identity to be easily ignored.


The dev team doesn't need to be told what gear should and shouldn't have restrictions. This is totally up to them, and they can place those restrictions for any reason they deem fit. Many of the players who are for the restrictions are glamour chasers as well. They can and do have overlapping limitations and frustrations. This doesn't change their views though because they know and understand that the devs don't ever place restrictions on gear to purposely grieve them and/or deliberately limit their glamour pool.
You and I both know that's not true. There is no role identity when you have to design gear that would, for example, work on both PLD and GNB where both roles are tanks but they have vastly different aesthetics. Or MCH and DNC. It is simply impossible and they've proven it with how they've been designing gear. There are multiple examples of the devs violating their own rules of role restricted gear with both NPCs that wear a mix of gear from different roles + re-using gear from previous expansions but only slightly recolored for an entirely different job. There are no valid excuses. Unless you genuinely mean to tell me that slight coloration differences on the exact same gear model is what sets them apart for different jobs. Gear that is already dyeable most of the time anyway.

The devs of any game should always take player feedback into account first thing because thats how games evolve and become better. We don't want another WoW on our hands, do we? The vast majority of players here are against these restrictions and the devs should take note. If you don't believe me I suggest you look at the other thread about it made by Siddiax.
