Please reconsider removing job restrictions on glamour armor

[Kohl]

I'm all for job restricted gear. I like some level of individuality between classes, even if later on they release color swapped alternatives for another class.

Yes, because we all know how in real life that people who are restricted by their government on what they can and can't wear are far more expressive of their individuality than people who are free to wear what they please.

But without sarcasm, not having access to more options does not increase individuality... maybe what you mean is that you enjoy the uniformity of the various roles; which doesn't exist... because I can wear a frog/mog/pig/etc. suit as anything I please. But the question that raises is; should people be forced to make only choices that are enjoyable to a selection of the populace?

(This following is not directly at the person I quoted above...)

Why do people care so much about how other people look anyway... would we be having the inverse of this threads conversation if there were never any restrictions to what clothing someone could wear? "I'd really like if SE would keep Tanks from wearing swimwear/robes/costumes/non-tanky things!"

What if (just imagine) removing restrictions freed up code that could be used to allow for more character creation options? I'm not saying that I think it would (or wouldn't), but what if it did? Would people still want those restrictions because they "don't want to see that"?

I kind of wish we could get glamour restrictions on weapons and tools removed too, but I know it will probably never happen. It would just be so fun to have my cul cooking with a sword, or my sam wielding a mighty fishing rod. hahaha

It's really not that deep. Chill out.

Yeah, thinking about stuff doesn't make people not "chill"... well, maybe not for some people.

Funny because literally a new thread just went up requesting that exact thing, ha ha

That's some grade A irony right there; assuming it isn't related to this thread, anyway...

Wouldn't having both features be the best thing? Then people can glamour how they like, and people who don't want to see the chaos don't have to.

[Iscah]

Probably coincidental.

Even before that post appeared, I was going to say people do ask for it from time to time.

(And they presumably haven't considered the "immersive" fashion disasters that will ensue when you get anything but a complete set of gear.)

[Wind-Krysvein]

At the cost of possibly raising the blood pressure levels of people who disagree with me...

I think it's totally fine to have class/job based gear glamouring restrictions. I won't go into details as to why, because frankly those don't matter a bit. I'm just voicing my personal opinion.

Woosh

Making all gear applicable to everyone would vastly reduce the value of rewards, as well as the value of playing a job, because your looks would be less prestigious.
