I think the base system is fine with our gear, as people said it keeps others from giving themselves the wrong stats but if they want to make their melee chest piece look like a generic caster coat, then by all means, go ham. Just let the jobs and races keep the gear that was designed specifically for that job or race.
    The system I'm mentioning would in effect allow glamour to cover more pieces of gear without entirely redoing how gear is categorized. It'd also be retroactive to avoid the usual "we'll put it in as a crafted item that is lv1 that requires 3-star specialize crafting with stupidly rare materials".

    That said, I can agree on wanting to keep specific looks, but I look at stuff like the lv50 blacksmith boots, the lv60 miner boots and lament their exclusivity.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
