Dear Square Enix pls stop using the same skins of raidtier for different classes

I don't get this.

Even in old World of Warcraft, before they did away with class specific sets,they would have alternate versions of the pieces as raid drops that were just reskins, so you weren't screwed for glamour when see a chest piece that would look REALLY good with your current transmog but couldn't wear because you're a paladin and it's a warrior piece. I love the fact that I can still play mix and match with pieces, with my only gripe being that some Striking pieces would look good in my GNB sets. Not everything has to have 10000 unique variants per tier, you can just have some reskins of a good looking set and call it a day. Saves time, saves resources, and it looks great regardless.

It's boring and tedious. FFXIV gets all of the tension and excitement from the quests before and after the raid fight. Much better that way so it doesn't get as repetitive. I've been playing MMOs since April of 2000 and I have come to loathe trash in raids because it serves no purpose other than to make things be as annoying as possible and take extra time.

There's few examples of trash pulls done well, but I distinctly remember Bastion of Twilight having some absolutely bonkers trash pulls, especially the first room. That was a raid-killer right there, in which you had to do very controlled pulls of each of four packs or your raid wouldn't be able to get to even the first boss.
