    As an aside... this isn't true. As per naming conventions post: "A female first name will always begin with the letter representing her tribe, followed by an apostrophe, and then her given name. Her last name is the first name of the tribe’s breeding male who sired her."

    The remainder of my note stands. Just which Nunh gave her her surname is different. So it's the one her brother that is now 'breeding' with her managed to kill in order to take his place.

    I'd double check this with my lore book (because online reference might be off), but it's packed away right now as I'm about to move. Either way... the naming conventions for keepers of the sun unmask some seriously perverted lore...

    I'm honestly not sure I understand what you're saying here. Female Seeker surnames are the name of their father. Not brother. xD No killing involved...

    I don't even see how this is an issue. If you need to select a tank, it's in the party / alliance list. If you need to heal someone, their HP bars are there.

    This request would make sense...

    If all tanks did not share gear.

    If all healers did not share gear.

    If all casters did not share gear.

    If the ranged physical did not share gear.

    Also maybe it's a controller thing but when I play tank and or healer, I use the dpad to cycle through party members so I'm looking at their job symbols in the list.

    Though, I can get behind what Lukha is saying. If it gets people to shut up and let people glam what they want without "but it ruins my immersion to see a black mage wear a single plate of armor", then sure go ahead and have a vote up.

    I want my toon to look the way I want her to look, not the way you want her to look.

    If you don't like how I look, kick me from your groups, please. I'd rather not be around such people anyway.

    If it's a client-side change, why not? Some people might find it useful for their immersion experience. And hey, if it helps to work against some of the role gear glamour argument Yoshi-P gave before, I'm all for it. Having the job icon besides the name sounds like a (imo) good QoL upgrade as well. The two suggestions doesn't have to be mutually exclusive though.

    I have to agree. There's quite literally nothing that needs to be done to the servers for this to happen. "If job=RDM, gear=RDM-DEFAULT"

    Also, how did this thread get Kellyanne Conway'd into Seeker of the Sun naming?

    I would like to turn this on its head and ask for an automatic glamour option which allows our gear to take on our default job gear appearance without having to own the job gear and glamour prism it.
