They shouldn't have introduced "Joke" gear like swimsuits and chocobo mascot outfits. But they did, so clearly aesthetic roleplay is not a pillar of FFXIV's game design. Having some gear that is and some that isn't is just silly and an ancient concept to modern MMOs.
But it is reasonable. Lots of MMOs have class-specific gear in some manner, and I always enjoyed having this on my chosen class.

You don't value class-specific gear whatsoever, which is fine. I am not trying to change your mind because it really doesn't matter to me what your opinion on the issue is. I only stopped by to share mine on the topic. There are also quite a few people in this thread who agree with keeping artifact armor exclusive, so maybe you can reply to them and try to change their minds or something? Mine's pretty set.

I don't find the issue of swimsuits and whether some glamours look good or not to be relevant to the discussion for me - you can respond with that to the poster who brought up that issue. I just think it's another topic unrelated to artifact armor remaining exclusive.
