Who doesnt want gear restrictions removed?

Just by the way the game handle items a universal removal will never happen and almost every item will need a replica. Many players level certain classes just to have access to X glamour and I guess that's a positive for SE. I also consider worth mentioning that gear restrictions are a design choice, one that has been there since release.

Anyway, I personally think they will keep release unrestricted replicas but limitations will never be removed.

If we opened the door on gear I'd want to somehow use WoW's transmog system instead of our current glamour system where you learn an item's appearance.

We can still use glamour prisms to "learn" the appearance (and bind the item in doing so) and maybe also to apply the appearance. Plates could still be used to save outfits. I don't want to mess up the prism economy too badly, I just don't want to have to keep the actual gear anymore.

I’ve been against removal of restrictions forever.
I also advocate for MORE racial locked or gender locked gear. As long as each gender or race gets equal amounts we would see an increase in variety when viewing a random sample of a crowd.
Restrictions on the individual level only leads to more creativity.

Letting everyone use anything only brings downsides imo

Downsides such as... *tumbleweed rolls by*

Not letting everyone use everything on the other hand gives us the downside of repeatedly see the devs ignore the very selfsame rules enforced on us players.
