Who doesnt want gear restrictions removed?

I am in favor of MORE race gear! I love that there are certain glams that are unique to your race, racial gear is the game's chance to really play up the aesthetics of a race.

I have nothing against gender locking stuff, cause if they didn't females wouldn't get half the girly shet they do. In all the praise I saw for them making the 2B coffer gear look the same for both genders I noticed no one really thought about male players who don't want to crossplay and was expecting a "cool thing designed for them" that they could wear. I saw it a number of times, people being let down that they won a useless glam prize. That's kinda why gender locking is a thing, so that dudes aren't asked to wear female stuff and female characters can have girly stuff. I'm ok with them having interns or w/e unlock things in the background like they are doing now but I've no problem sucking it up that my female can't always have a dapper glam.

For job gear I'm fine with restrictions but think Ranged and Nin need over-lap. Like ... they kinda fucked up Ranged gear via having all the Ranged jobs want the same stats. What's BIS for one is the same for the other 2 from what I see in most cases so I feel like the jobs could use some tweaking and maybe let Nin wear their gear and let them wear Nin gear. Mainly cause Nin sets look more Dnc than most ranged sets. They could do that OR just make Dnc wear Nin gear instead of ranged. But that's as far as that goes, never really cared for the idea of making Job gear a free-4-all.

Devs also like to reuse past gear designs for different jobs when they can, as filler gear for dngs so it's a means to stretch out resources.
