Why are cosmetics so restrictive?

[Rysir]

The restrictions are even weirder when you consider that theres event gear that is straight up heavy armor that all jobs can wear and other more armored looking sets magic users can use.

Healer in legacy warrior armor and a tank in robes. Its okay when SE does it but we are not allowed to mix and match ourselves.

Do wish they would ease up on the glamour. Sure Artifact gear, keep it to that one class but let us glamour whatever else we want. A Tank in a Bikini makes as much since as a Tincan Blackmage.

[Jaibamon]

I can't agree more, Glamour restrictions should be gone.

The main reason Square places these limits is to avoid confusing players. So, considering this, I recommend:

* Keep the exclusive class/job restrictions. This means a gear made only for BLM can only be glamoured by BLM. This respects Square desire to avoid confusing players.

* Remove any restrictions to glamour gear from other Disciples or role. Allow BLM to glamour Disciples of War gear, or gear made for PLD WAR DRK, for example.

Originally the devs said they didn't want everyone to be able to glamor everything because it would cause confusion over what role you were. Then they release stuff like the giant pig suit, that any job can use as a glamor....

Ayeee.

If they are wanting to keep roles clear, I would say make it so that you cant glamour weapons cross-class, but let everything else be fair game. The weapon is what decides our job anyway, so there could be our one tie-in to show what jobs people are playing.

Honestly this doesn't need to be respected because it's complete phooey. Players don't get confused by another player's glamour.

Agreed.

also, they need to make it when you glamour you just have to pay Gil, I'm sick of having to go to the market and buy glamour prisms or finding out I don't have enough of them.

[Yonanja]

Please no, don't give them the idea to remove glamour prisms, it's one of the few things crafters can sell no matter what patch it is, cause people will always use them. Nor are they very expensive either.

I find the best solution would be to make the system work like in XI, so as long as your charachter can use the item on some class, you can glamour it. This would also give SE the sidebenefit of people spending more time and subbing for longer to lvl up more classes. I know that there's a couple of classes I would lvl to 70 just to be able to use their gear for glamours on other classes.

[Verdan]

don't you dare take away those prisms.

At this point it's probably pretty easy to level yourself up to make prisms your dang self, honestly.

[DarkDedede]

With all the particle effects flying about, is anyone really paying attention to what others are wearing?

You don't. Consider others. I am all up for tanks wearing bikinis and mages wearing Disciples of War gear, but a monk wearing the classic White Mage set can be confusing.
