[DEV Question] Why is this allowed?

[CookieMonsta]

But since AP is directly tied to your main stat which is directly tied to your combat, it would change nothing for this particular situation.

On the other hand...it's not a big deal. In fact, I'm pretty sure you didn't realize after the clear, unless you take the time to check everybody's gear at the beginning of each duty.

And even if we weight the weapon a little more to calculate average ilvl, you'll see topics where "His body piece was really low" or "his head piece was out of date"

If someone sits at the beginning of the duty, will you go through it knowing that the person won't participate, get the clear and come here complaining ?

Yes but it would at least stop people from cheesing the requirement by using Caster accessories on a MNK etc etc.

That's another point...Since jobs only have one main stat, it should be easy to restrict accessories to the corresponding job in the first place.
And to do the same with gatherer/crafter's gear.

The issue there is glamour/PvP, some fending accessories are BiS for a high-HP build of a DPS or a healer, so that you can survive a LB.
