Then there's the whole glamour deal that limits what people can wear when we see plenty of npcs wearing gear that they should not be able to due to their jobs/class

There were also lore-reasons why female Highlander and roegadyns npcs were not available. While male miqo'te kept true to the lore in terms of npc rarity, not sure why how/why female roegadyn/highlanders are everywhere post calamity
To be fair, the Crystal Tower as the centre of Aether production for the Allag empire. As far as potential for miss use its kind of on another level to Azys Lla. Frankly we probably wouldn't let people just walk around Azys Lla either if we could. Regardless, its the Crystal Tower that caused the destruction of Allag, not what came out of Azys Lla.

On the actual thread topic, Lore and story gives context to activities. You collect ten bear asses but its the Lore and Story telling you why your doing it. That makes a difference.
