Why are cosmetics so restrictive?

[Katsuragi_]

I honestly am all for just allowing anything goes.
I often find myself thinking how cool some coats from other professions would look cool on a tank, for instance.
Or maybe I just want to wear the same thing no matter what my profession is.

Just make from every gear a ilevel 1 version for the mog station ^^

The part that makes me the most upset is that the changes in class restrictions mean that the ONLY dyeable versions of the Nomad set are locked to DoL/DoH (which, ironically, means that the NPCs get more glamour options than we do - Cirina's an archer but still gets to wear the Kudzu Coat of Gathering).

It also means that I have to collect about half a dozen rings/necklaces/earrings/etc from every dungeon if I want to be assured of having one to glamour on hand at any given time. I just don't have the space for that.

I would like to call upon Square Enix to do (at least) one of the following things:

1) Revert DoL/DoH gear and all accessories to All Classes.
2) Otherwise remove glamour restrictions on DoL/DoH gear and all accessories.
3) Remove glamour restrictions on all gear.
4) Make reasonably easy to obtain (no Aquapolis hunting, etc) dyeable all class versions of things like the Kudzu Coat of Gathering.

Intentional inventory bloat > encourage players to rent retainer space > more income for SE.

The lvl 50 DoH/L AF gears are lvl 1 glamour on the China kupo stores.

I already have six retainers and I'm still entirely out of space. I was so excited for expanded inventory but most of that expanded inventory is already dedicated to accessories :T

XI allows you to glamour any piece of gear, from any job, into your outfit. The only requirement is that you have to be able to equip the gear normally on the job in question (e.g. Can't glamour lvl 60 ninja boots if your ninja is only 25).

I could get behind this. Why didn't Square bring the same system over for FFXIV (besides 'spaghetti code')?

... No?

Let's go for fixes that don't involve the Mogstation, please...

Racial gear restrictions i can understand but purely cosmetic gear locked behind arbitrary gender restriction grinds my gear. Yes, i'm looking at you Aymeric. Not a single female in Eorzea can wear your attire because reasons. If there's one piece of gear i wanted in HW it's that one.

It adds a lot of variety to the game and is really quite fun. I'd love to see an open glamour system like that move to XIV.

God it pisses me off so much that SE managed to do this right in XI but not here.

I support this.
Be able to glamour every gear if your character can equip it with having the needed job on the needed level.

I'm all for removing the restrictions. I've made some nice outfits I can't wear because they use tank gauntlets and sabatons or they use DoW thighboots. I'd kill to use the Oschon's Sollerets of Aiming on my healer because they look so good
