How about turning the Hempen sets into items that can only be crafted by that race, and that gender of the creator? These items will then only be tradeable BUT market prohibited.

Example: to get the female Miqo'te set, you would need a female Miqo'te to create the set and trade it to you. However she can't make the male Miqo'te set. You need a male Miqo'te for that.

This would make race absolutely important to what is easily accessible to you while still being able to have a chance at all other sets some how. The Spread of racial gear would be in the hands of the races themselves so they could either spread it, or not. Perhaps they could sell it(cringing at the thought.. those prices), or you could just have a friend to make it free.

The more rare races(like Roegadyn) will have great importance. Because unless everyone fantasias to Roe to make Roe gear, Roe female hempen would be the rarest set. That should make all Roe female players feel even more special.

Maybe a friendly Elezen lady is in a happy mood and is selling 50 sets.

And again, those who wish not to spread their "culture" with their friends just won't have to. And if no one is selling or willing to give them one.. well tough luck.
I really like this idea.
