    Maybe we don't have to go as far as "AFs" (JSE) for now.

    It would be great though if there wasn't any glamour restrictions on other non-job-iconic gear sets such as the Arachne/Wootz/Chimerical/Serpentskin sets to name a few.

    For example, the Arachne Bolero was modeled for casters. When HW released, MNKs (of all things) got this style available to them too. BRDs and MCHs suddenly have a new set that looks like the Pligrim's gear, and suddenly even mages have access to an off-colored Shikaree set.

    Clearly the potential for older styles being opened up to more jobs/classes is already there. As healer, I always wanted to glamour the Bolero piece, so not only was I confused, but a little upset that MNKs got access to that style. Sure, healers have the Archne robe, but it's not quite the same (it's a robe...) Am I going to be confused when I see a MNK with a Bolero body piece and think they're a caster? No, and majority of the players won't because we have enough common sense to look at the job icons on our party list first when we enter a dungeon. I'm willing to give a pass on DoW/DoM AF causing that, but everything else (including DoL/H, since they could never even get in a dungeon) is fairly unfounded paranoia.
