RPwise there are a few out there who are vehemently against this but like you said I'm already hanging onto a few things for that purpose. :U RP aside I do enjoy looking how I want to look convenient to my class or not. I always equip myself to the best of my ability in a party and srs situations, but sometimes I like a little flexibility.

Like with my tiara one rank ahead of me. I'd like the ability to equip it now with lowered stats and lowered rate of spirit binding just so I may get through the last 16k to participate in the experiment with my friends that we're doing without having to go Con so I may level up Lnc at the same time. It has nothing to do with RP. It's convenient to be able to equip something even 2 levels above you even with a penalty especially now that things are laid out so clearly.

Just saying, a little flexibility and creative programming/balancing would have been appreciated rather than old fashioned hard-restrictions.
But I respect your opinion. I really do.
Your tone was indicative of this, which is why I haven't been all harsh and obnoxious as most people tend to get out of me. People saying that the current system failed... make me laugh. But you have honest opinions and peaceful ways of expressing them. Kudos. ^^

And, hey, we're on the same server!
