    If people "had" to buy near gear every so many levels cause their gear is outdated, this would not only show progression to the player, but would give more gear to be in demand for crafters to make.

    I agree, I remeber in ffxi looking forward to a new level when I could get diffrent gear(though mine was also new looking gear) I am one of those who sometimes wears stuff above my level, but am mostly now going back to my lvl stuff. I know there are alot of people out there that like being able to wear what ever lvl stuff they want, but I for one would like having the restrictions.

    granted adding the adjusted stats would be good, but still infavor of restrictions to lvl/class

    i agree anyone who rage for this request should try and find low level gear for there class one day. I can find any level 1-15+ gear and if i can i have to get +1 version which cost more or diff color and look like a rainbow due to this.

    Please lock it to Class/rank enough said

    I'm all for leaving unique pieces of gear to class restrictions or ranks, or things that really set a job apart. But as it's been said, all equipment should not be locked to a rank or class. Make penalities more obvious, make it clear what will happen wearing gear not suited for your class or rank. If you want a sense of accomplishment of leveling to a certain rank to wear a piece of gear, more power to you. Take that piece of gear and don't equip it until you're ready to use it! Why should you care if Mister Gladiator R18 is using the same gear as you, you know you earned it, that you can wear it proudly and get full benefits whereas Mister Gladiator's actually weaker wearing it than something suited for his rank or profession.

    But in all honesty people need to quit acting as if someone using gear far beyond their rank or not designed for their class is actually hurting them. One, it hurts that player itself. A R20 wants to use a R45 jerkin? Go ahead! Just remind them they've got no right to complain if their gear costs like 5-6K to repair every few days because it wears out too quickly. And two, it's been said many times over but I shouldn't be expected to carry equipment for each and every class I decide to pick up on.

    Yes I normally use gear to roleplay, but I also use that gear to level up lower ranked classes. I picked up a blue canvas tunic, R21 for a roleplay once. Later I'm using that same gear on my R24 Thaumaturge since it gives me suitable stats for my current rank and is suited for my rank. All in all, people are getting fussy about this just like the anima system because they think it makes you either too lazy or somehow adversely affects them.

    But if it's truly that bad or you feel strongly about it, then follow your own rule and ignore the noob there using gear too strong for himself. Don't use equipment until you're ready to use it. Come 1.19 lower ranked gear will be easier to make and come by. Quests currently even offer gear (generic stuff but most gear is when it's hempen) for low ranks! The wards even have NPCs to purchase equipment from if it's not on sale. So many people tend to forget this part too.

    I actually agree with this. They've done this with dungeon gear already. They even have some pieces that can only be equiped by certain classes. now they just need to do this for all gear

    Actually all they need to do is make it so actual stats given are shown over what stats it could give. This would stop a lot of people from using stuff higher then them.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
