This game is in need of character customization

I also hate how I spend time making my characters face to look unique, but as I play a tank in darklight gear im forced to wear that god awful helmet constantly as its attached to the chest piece so unable to hide it.

Seriously. I was SO happy when I finally got out of DL. Cut scenes are painful and pointless when your face is covered. I couldn't tell if I was happy, upset, confused or what! Probably just emotionally dead inside.

I dislike the high level armour colour limit it should be dyeable (then everyone wouldn't look the same/copy and pasted )

Hey.
Did you try ticking the 'hide/display head gear.' box on the 'Character window?

Sorry, I am 2 weeks new to this game and this is the first forum post too!

It doesn't work for darklight gear. The face is attached to the mail so there's no option to turn it off.

Try playing BLM. The head piece isn't even attached to the body yet half your face is covered by the body piece. Allagan is the only decent looking BLM gear and we've had 0 body drops since we started Coil in September. No one actually needs it now.

Traits, attribute allocation, and cross class skills are all leftovers from version 1.0. Those things made sense back then, when the game was trying to be a unique butterfly, and I think the only reason they came into ARR was to keep old players from getting mad about all the changes.

Indeed, a RPG with customization is an unique butterfly.

Wait...

Indeed, an MMORPG with large amounts of uneeded customization is an unique butterfly.

Fixed for you. I remember the thing with allocating points not only to stats, but to elemental resistances. *shudder*

Being able to build and work on personal strategy to assist a group is a bad thing now?
Horizontal progression and options are bad?

Because it's an illusion. There is one right answer and a lot of wrong ones. If you allocate INT on a WHM, you are doing it wrong. Or VIT, or STR, or DEX, or PIE. Everything is wrong except more MND.

That gear is almost all already in the game. Most of it is dungeon gear (of really disparate levels..) and, I believe, can't be dyed. It does look awesome though....

Only one I don't recognize is the LNC gear. Almost looks a bit like the Allagan, but it might just be PvP gear or something else. Most are the i17 Sastasha-Copperbell or i34 Brayflox gears. Reading left->right, top->bottom, it's the Direwolf (i90 tank PvP gear), Cavalry (i34, Brayflox), something??, Infantry (i34, Brayflox), Foestriker (i17, 3 early dungeons), Vanya (i70 crafted), Battlemage (i34, Brayflox), and Acolyte (i17, 3 early dungeons).

Gryphonskin gear.
