Starting Clothes Available for All Races

I'd be happy if they just let us dye our own RSE to be honest.

So race specific gear is off the table for vanity because "It's only for certain races!" Yet crafter specific gear is fair game despite similar reasons?

Not exactly similar reasons - those gloves are already modeled for all races, whereas the RSE isn't. In the eyes of the devs, it's likely not worth it to create brand new models for the RSE, whereas making the crafting pieces available for everyone is probably something like changing a flag so that it no longer restricts other classes. (The non-class-specific crafting gear is already for all classes anyway, what's the difference with a few new pieces?)

remember that all the armor sets are individually designed for each race. Lalafell and miqo'te outfits alone are drastically different from the proportions of other races, with the stumpy legs, tails, and ears.

I can see why you would want this, but I'm personally in the other camp. If anything I would like more race specific gear.

I feel like our choices in this game don't amount to much (All races and guardian deities have almost identical stats for example), so I appreciate it when our choices actually change things for us, like how our grand company gives us unique gear. I appreciate how there are at least a few pieces of equipment that have restrictions to them based on our decisions, like race.

There are certain pieces of other races that I wouldn't mind being able to wear, but I understand it would be difficult for them to go back and modify things at this point. However, someone else mentioned the ability to dye our starting outfits, which I would totally be in favor of doing. Silly brown boots would look much better if they were black. >_<

I like that some equipment is race specific. I'd like to see them bring over something similar to the FFXI racial equipment as an homage.

I would like to see the Hempen Camise which is usable by all races, to have all of its versions available for all races.

This is a terrible idea because of the Highlander RSE smallclothes... Heck, I don't even agree with them on Highlanders.

There is nothing wrong with races having exclusive Gear, We can't all have everything. It's nice being able to pick out gear that will only show that way on your race, And i hope they bring more, if you really want that specific races gear, then pick that race...
