Please, no more job restrictions for glamour.

[Hito-Shura]

So here is my story before I start.

I recently started playing ninja and needless to say that I love it. Good thing since our static already got a monk. Despite being interested in both classes, I chose ninja to not hinder on our progress which is fine too considering both classes are interesting. But then the World of Darkness info was revealed and I came upon some of the armor designs who look awesome by the way... Truly a lot of good ideas went into those armors and for that, I praise the design team!

But my heart was broken soon after as I was informed that the dev team is thinking about designing armors exclusively for each jobs. While not a bad idea per se and even encouraged, it creates a lot of needless restriction for our artistic minds when it comes to glamour. For example, I wanted my ninja, a class that I identify myself in, to wear sashes and baggy pants like the monk gear announced in the live letter to have some sort of Arabic look (to match my kirpan daggers) instead of a typically Japanese ninja look but due to class restrictions, a character who fights in close quarter combat just like monk can't wear the same outfit because it ''doesn't fit the vision of the job''. Another example is a friend who wants his character to look like a scientist on his black mage but is yet again restricted by the glamour system. Apparently, a wizard coat and a lab coat is not the same thing...

Anyway... All that to say that I would like, as a player, to see an improved glamour system that still limits the classes of armors (a bit like a la DnD with heavy, medium and light armor) but don't limit armors exclusively to jobs which greatly limits our creative options. Not many games has done so for a reason and the reason is rather simple. Even if we are the same job as other people, we don't want to all have the same outfit even if it's our ''job outfit''. The game's armor choice is already poor... Please don't make it worst by locking everything about the glamour system behind prerequisites.

Our goal as players is not to make the most ridiculous/controversial outfit there is for our character (at least for the majority). Our goal is to design our character to our liking, to stand out as a unique character and not copy/paste a character design of a certain job.

TL;DR: Please SE... It might be too late of 2.5 but please... Alter the glamour system so that someday, I can be a Arabic ninja and my friend can be a wizard scientist.

For those new to this thread. I highly suggest you look at the very good posts written by other players. This subject seems to take some magnitude with the observations of many.
