If your answer is immersion, then how are you not already bothered by the freedom players have in wearing joke gear, or other Final Fantasy traditional outfits like Cloud's outfit regardless of their job? If that doesn't bother you, someone wearing SGE's robe as a SCH, BRD's pants as a RDM, or GNB's gloves on a NIN won't bother you either. If you are bothered by that, then why does it matter if artifact gear is freed up also? The damage is already done. Keeping artifact gear hostage is not going to magically make the existing "issue" of immersion any better. You've already gotten used to it.
Immersion isn't my argument at all. That ship has sailed a LONG LONG time ago. One person even joked about my monk glamour. I said, "I keep losing the roll on this armor" and someone in party said "oh so that's why your naked" lol.

My argument is finding enjoyment in knowing there are just a few things here and there that remain unique and exclusive to the class I've chosen to play. I've always enjoyed those little special items that only my class could wear.

To some, they don't care about this whatsoever and their desire to use said items on other classes trumps this. But for others like myself, in a game with tons of glamor options already, having a few special appearances reserved here and there are nice and motivating.
