I for one hope so. After 5 straight weeks of PLD body (yes, my static is currently 5/5 on Heavy Allagan Armor) and accessories dropping (none of which were healer or BRD), the chance to go back and try to pick up actual gear would be a welcome change.

That or keep the lockouts but fix the drop tables so some jobs can actually gear their mains in Allagan (though in my eyes, it's intentional. Lack of tanks so they throw tank gear at you in the hopes you'll level it if you have the gear. That and trying to extend content for as long as they possibly can. AWESOME)
