Who doesnt want gear restrictions removed?

The additional layer which is job/race/sex specific is just superfluous.

No it's not. It makes the different races/jobs/sexes more unique and special to many of us. Obviously it's not what YOU want but this game isn't all about you.

It does make them special, but for all the wrong reasons.
A race ought to be special due to qualities intrinsic to it.
Being able to wear a specific hairstyle or being able to hold your sword out in one way isn't something I would deem to be intrinsic to the race, not when they all share the same humanoid shape.
This is a rather contrived way of making things seem special.

In my opinion.

You mean your reasons? You're entitled to your opinion but I certainly have mine and it's simply just fine the way they are. I want more of the same not less.

Because your reasons for why it feels "special" is so much better. I personally want more of the same... of what the devs are having, which is no restrictions.

Yes my reasons are my reasons just like yours are yours. I'm in favor of keeping them as they are and for more of the same. You can want what you want I certainly can make my voice heard and i will.

Of course they're my reasons and my opinions, or did you miss this?

In my opinion.

Technical reasons aside (I just have to make that bold), I think it's silly to have arbitrary restrictions on clothes as being "special" in a game in which any race can be anything. As I've mentioned in other posts, you can have either the tiniest lalafell or the biggest roegadyn tanking Titan... but wearing X or Y article of clothing? Oh that's just too much.

And to reiterate, I know there are technical reasons for why this is so.
