Why are cosmetics so restrictive?

[Thaldor]

I too am all for removing the restrictions... maybe in pvp they need to show exactly the armour worn but in pve it shouldn't matter...

In PVP it matters even less because it's so easy to see what people are from their names alone. If you're identifying people by the random glamours they're wearing you're probably already dead. The number of purists who go into a cold sweat at the idea of casters wearing armour or tanks wearing cloth must have traumatic experiences every day since both are possible anyway, just not for most sets.

Down with glamour restrictions!

there are plenty of options for tanks outside the options you listed, you are just not looking. HW added a good amount of medium/light armor styles for tank gear during the leveling process. Plus ARR dungeons have "DoW" set gear tanks can wear.

Totorak has a few med armor DoW as does halitali

While I'd be perfectly willing to accept it as a compromise, a toggle for 'no-fun mode' where all glamours were hidden for players who hate glamour means a lot of people would be seeing me wandering around in hideous combinations of clipping, miscoloured, overly-revealing nonsense

I'd rather it just replaced all your clothes with generic job gear if that is the only alternative.

Still traumatised from my ARR levelling experience with WHM AF pants and the Coliseum Shawl. Never forget.

Only to be forced to wear that horrible Darklight robe for weeks following because we didn't have glamour prisms at launch while you got the tomes for AF2

Funny enough, for Miqo'te, that's like the only gear in the game that doesn't completely clip at the tail. It's the most impractical gear ever and I got rid of it the second I didn't need it.

[Eliniell]

The most logical solution to this would be to make glamours restricted by level only (outside of glamouring weapons into different weapon types. i.e. WHM weapon into DRG weapon.) Let everyone glamour every piece of gear regardless of whether they can wear it as their current job so long as they have the requisite level to do so. I suppose you could make an argument for removing the level restriction as well, but I feel like you should at least have to earn the ability to use a glamour to some degree outside of buying said piece of gear and using a prism.

[SokiYagami]

In my opinion, anything outside of weapon, artificial and racial gear should be unlocked, period.

[heynowjose]

There are so many pieces that shouldnt be job locked. Honestly other than af gear nothing else should be locked (for glamour)

[Kling-Klang]

The new restrictions for white DoH/DoL gear in SB pisses me off. The gear got some neat designs and changes from existing one but... we cannot use it for glam. Instead of more options we get less.
