Who doesnt want gear restrictions removed?

[Reinha]

- letting any race use any of the hempen sets

Now that 2 sets are already being shared they are not race specific, so might as well just share them all at this point. It would be nice to get an additional race specific set.

- letting any job wear any other jobs item of clothing

Job specific gear should stay that way but if it's gear shared by multiple jobs, sometimes as recolors, then there is no reason the rest of jobs couldn't also use the appearance. Same as racial gear.

- no gender locked gear etc etc

I'm not against unlocking everything if it costs nothing, but in reality that's not the case. We don't tend to get a masculine hairstyle/glamour/emote as well as a feminine one at the same time unless they are gender locked. So getting non-locked cosmetics usually means that we get nice looking things only half the time and the overall quality and quantity of cosmetic options goes down. Two dozen short hair styles on female characters despite the constant requests for longer, more elaborate hair styles. Dresses which look really unflattering on the male frame and mostly get worn as a joke. One same emote for everyone instead of multiple variants.

Sometimes they get it right though. The long straight hair style is great example of a truly gender neutral option that looks great on everyone. Many hats, gloves and shoes would also work well for both genders. I would just like them use some common sense with the gender locking and consider how much an item is actually going to be used compared to the development time it takes to implement it.
