    We already have "tank" armor that can be equipped on all jobs. The pretense that it's to make roles readily apparent is gone. We have chicken costumes and casino bunny outfits. There is no reason for us to continue on like it's "important" or even "consistent" to keep job gear separate in glamor.

    The ONLY reason I can think of is that would it be a nightmare coding-wise because their system is spaghetti code, and because they're marked as "x" job in the code means that's also how it's linked in the glamor dresser.

    Which means things like all the level 1 glamor things like the pvp armor should STILL be changed to just be all jobs since they give no stats.

    A few points:

    1) Things get mixed up very often in an arbitrary way. Sometimes Healing shares a model with... Striking of all things? The only 2 armor types that keep consistent with their silhouettes are Fending and Casting.

    2) Even with their own assigned silhouettes, we have a lot of situations (and not just mere outliers) where it's just completely ignored in favor of a certain fashion. Zadnor tanking set looks like light armor, Radiant caster set is literally mail in the name and appearance, just to name two of many examples. It's funny that sometimes they just slap a shoulderpad and call it fending.

    3) We have a bunch ofAll Classes glamours that can replicate a certain armor silhouette regardless of the job you're at, which by itself already defeat the whole theorethical purpose of the restrictions, and I'm not even talking about the 'joke' or the 'casual-modern' sets - I mean things like the Seigneur or the PVP plate armor.

    I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but there's no good reason to, as the game is today, justify the restrictions based on an armor silhouette association.

    And there's the, often recurring, argument of "Unrestricted glamour will allow people to look ridiculous and I don't want to see that." - There's absolutely zero ways of looking more 'ridiculous' with the restrictions lifted than what people ALREADY can, simply because all of those glamours are by default All Classes: wedding dresses in combat, frog suit, swimwear, the cafeteria guy, maids...
