There's ways of identifying if you click and look at a person, or if they say something, maybe an icon appears in chat.
An excuse for what though? That they create AF gearsets every expansion for each job/class and lock those sets to the job/class they were designed around tells me they care, far far too much perhaps, about making those sets exclusive to the jobs they designed them for because of their notion of them exemplifying job identity.

I may not agree with the Devs but I don't believe they're making an excuse to cover anything up. They simply care too much about adherence to job identity when it comes to the AF sets instead of letting players actually enjoy them.
