I certainly recognize the benefits of being able to glam specific items that you can equip on a given class as a perk for having leveled that class. One of the things that I've found insanely frustrating, however, is when I'm unable to mix it with other things that would pull the whole outfit together because the primary stat is dex rather than str based or some such.

I know that I am not alone in being frustrated by the barrier between an acceptable glam and one that I can be excited about.

Why not be able to glam items that you can equip on any of your classes? Sort of as a perk for having leveled the other classes. That needn't necessarily include artifact gear specific to a class. There could be requirement of a level to equip it on the other said classes, if you're looking to keep some restrictions in place.

Imagine the level 50 AF bard shirt on with the Valerian Shaman's Temple Chain over the Valerian Wizard's Longkilt. I'd be excited about that.
