I get limitations due to hardware preventing us from getting something...but another reason I've seen thrown out there for us not having certain things would be lore. For example, there was a mount people were asking for, back in 2.0 i think? The devs said that the character/creature it was based on was rare and it wouldn't make sense to have them all over the place in game. But yet we see Midgardsormr flying around all over the place, Slepnir, etc. I'd say that one is sufficiently defeated.

We can't glamour class locked gears. Artifact armors make sense...but you have things like tunics, generic armors, locked to Disciple of War or Magic or even tank only. The excuse given is that they dont' want to have the classes losing their identity because mages have tank legs on. First...most of the disciple of magic stuff is "All Classes" so you can have mage hats and robes on dragoons and tanks or whatever else you want. Second, we have snowman outfits, swimsuits, and various other clothing items that already destroy class identity and any realism where armor is concerned. So....can we please unlock these things and stop hiding behind lore when its obvious it's not being followed anyways?
