About Tank Design Winner

[Reinha]

Out of the runner ups I would have wanted this one to be put in game. It's original, detailed, tanky, and unlike anything we've ever seen in Eorzea. I would have hoped that we get more variety compared to what is already available.

Also, I personally like my character to look feminine/decorated and with this winner there will still be zero outfits that give me that desired look without being "non-tanky". All level 1 glamour gear is made of cloth or leather, making them a perfect fit for any other role except tanking. Only as a tank do I have to pick between elaborate and role-fitting. however, the floral druid tank gear (among a few other entries) proves you don't have to sacrifice function for style or vice versa. This competition was the perfect opportunity to bring out something bulky but beautiful so I'm left a little disappointed.

In short, people aren't upset because a bad design was chosen, they're upset because a rare opportunity for variety was lost.

This exactly.
