I understand what you're saying. I never mentioned rolling on anything, or not glamouring something. I was speaking strictly about using gear for glamouring purposes and the confusion that it could cause a new player, which was SE's stance as well. Imagine a new player who, not realizing that gear can be glamoured, sees a BLM running around in DRG gear.

Example: an endgame BRD that has glamoured using BLM gear goes into a low-level dungeon for whatever reason, particularly a leveling dungeon. A new player, not knowing any better, and not realizing that it's only glamour, believes that BLM gear will someohow be handy for ARC or BRD. Of course, they'll eventually be restricted from equipping anything outside of their job once they hit tome gear -- but this does not rectify any issues when leveling.


I was stating that new players, because FFXIV is on console, are often completely ignorant when it comes to what they should be doing. I was grabbing melee DPS gear as an ARC early on because I also misunderstood what I was supposed to be doing. Given what I've seen recently, I can't support the idea, as much as I'd like to.
