Please reconsider removing job restrictions on glamour armor

[Duelle]

I think the real reason is the need vs greed loot restriction. We can glamour everything we can wear, so if every job can glamour everything, then every job can wear everything, and then every job can need on everything. And since we want certain jobs to be able to need on loots, then there is restriction in place for actuals gears (not glamour).

That's a flimsy excuse, since you can set loot rules to work separately from job restrictions for glamour. As I've mentioned before, you could have it be something as simple as requiring you to level the corresponding class/job to use glamours for that job. So if I level MNK to lv60, I can glamour the Sky Pirate set of Striking to any of my other jobs so long as they are at least lv60 and the gear I'm glamouring on is higher item level. If nothing else, this gives people a reason to level additional jobs, which wouldn't be a bad thing.

That does not follow. There is more diversity if you can mix and match everything.

This, pretty much.

Just to emphasize, this is applicable to body gear, not the nonsense involving weapons from the Yoshida quote at the top of this page.

I too feel like this is long overdue, and it's especially driving me nuts this patch, where all the sets I love extremely much can't be worn by the jobs I play most.

I see little reason why the system couldn't simply allow you to glamour anything that you have the required job at the required level for. Nothing would change about Need/Greed rolling that way, just now I could apply a level 80 DRG glam to anything, since I technically AM a level 80 DRG and could wear this outfit within seconds anyway with a class change.

As a bonus, I strongly feel this would be a fantastic incentive for people to actually level other jobs, something that the developers recently tapped into with the Amaro mount.

Trust me on this SE, nothing would be a more alluring carrot than omni-glamours. Your glamours are great. Let us use them on everything!

If I can glamour it, then I should be able to wear it. If I can wear it, then I should be able to roll need on it.
