If YoshiP feels the need to beg players not to fill their Glamour Dressers

[Deo14]

First, to answer about removing the job restrictions, unfortunately, we don’t intend to remove them. The reason is simple. For players who have played other Final Fantasy titles, they’ll easily recognize these gear designs as a way to identify a particular job...You wouldn’t want to see someone carrying an axe casting black magic. You’d wonder: What the hell kind of game is this?

Now this is hilarious, considering that this is raid gear for tanks.



Also both WHM and BLM use canes, and casting and healing sets are nearly always just recolors, yet you obviously can recognize them by animations and abilities. List goes on; PLD can hide his shield, sheathed scythes often look like greataxes, some weapons intentionally look like other (Blackbosom Reaper) and many, many more contradictions. Just remove all restrictions, they're useless.

Where/when he posted that quote? Wasn't that like, many years ago?

Also funny that on the quote he specifically mentions weapons, which is actually problematic due to animation issues as well, and curiously the movement of players asking for loose glamour restrictions rarely bring up weapons.

By time consuming they mean:

Fight RNGesus for the item to drop
Fight other people (RNG again) to obtain it.

Two layers of RNG just to get an item, worse if it's in a 24 man.

Tell me about it... I literally ran Qitana Ravel 34 times to get a specific item, and up to this day (I stopped counting at 25) I'm still trying to get Plague Bringer hat from Arboretum going solo.
