Disciple of Magic plate armor

[PartyMcfly]

When are they going to add decent options to use plate gear for casters/healers? There are plenty of different options for tanks/dps from plate armor to dresses, so why are casters limited to just dresses and robes? Players have the option to use bikinis and chocobo suits on their tank so don't tell me a healer would look "out of place" in something like the i250 tank crafted set. I would even spend actual money if they just reskinned tank sets like allagan or gordian for healers/casters and put them in the mogstation.

Yes

No

I always thought a light plate armor like the Divine Breastplate from XI would be a nice addition for healer classes in XIV.

If I recall correctly, Yoshi did say he was planning to have older gear sets like Darklight have their class restriction removed.

Why only older sets? Anything not job specific should be glam fodder for all jobs.

Baby steps.

The aversion to paying money for things you want always confuses me.

It's idea of paying extra for what should be a basic game feature.

It's idea of paying extra for what should be a basic game feature.

A basic game feature is something like.. the ability to glamour at all. Or.. being able to move quickly to most areas in a large game.

This is extra. Additional appearance options are not basic features. You feel you should have access to all possible appearances in game because you pay your sub. I present that the customization options you take for granted need to be developed , tested and implemented and this requires money beyond basic maintenance of the game. Expanding these systems requires even more money even if it's just changing flags on equipment and that money has to come from somewhere. I'm willing to drop a couple dollars to make that happen, you are not. Who do you think SE would rather cater to?

SE is a business, and will first and foremost chase profit. Not morals. Presenting a business case for what you want is the best possible presentation to get it noticed/implemented.
