    Meanwhile the crafted lv86 and Classical are both plain clone of PvP sets with different dye palette & no role swapped. (HW & StB Republican sets). Lv80, 82, & 88 crafted are also similar being a clone to the Alliance, Shire, & Neo-Ishgardian set respectively without role swaps, although I guess the two former no longer requires player to touch PvP should they want those glams so it’s a positive(?). Ktiseos felt like a slap though. No role swap & not dyeable. But I guess not being locked behind capstone dungeon RNG loot is a plus?

    Imperial, Palaka, Moonward, Limbo/Asphodelos, Radiant, & Panthean are all welcome addition though.
    They may technically not be able to role swap the Skalla/Snow Linen, Swallows Compass/Manusya, and Neo-Ishgardian/lvl 88 gear because those are all gear design contest winner gears. Since they are not the ones that developed original designs there may be a limit on what they can do to switch it up. Some of the others are definitely a little disappointing. The lvl 86 gear especially, then again I wasn't a fan of the original version of that stuff either so that might have something to do with it.

    On the one hand, yes that's likely and I've had the same thought. They probably thought it was a nice idea to bring back all of the player-designed items for the finale, but didn't want to change the "specifically designed for X role" intent.

    On the other... surely they could have swapped around the other dev-designed classes, even if they leave the one player-designed role untouched?

    I'm also still sad about the lack of gear in the Aitiascope, even though we didn't functionally need it from there.

    That would be a nice thing, and yeah they should be able to swap the ones outside of the designed role. I was also hoping for them to have swapped around the designs on the reused alliance set. I love that aiming top and I'd love to be able to use it on other roles too.
