Fix Glamour Restrictions

[ItMe]

They are absolutely not against giving healers armor; some of which looks alarmingly heavy, and anyone who claims they are just isn't paying attention in the slightest.

Who is not paying attention?
Is it you?
No, apparently ItMe (ba-dum tish)

Thank you everyone for pointing me towards more armor-y healer pieces.

At this point, I'm convinced the only reason is because they can't just retroactively change the system due to the fact there's no distinction in the glamour system between weapons and gear, so they'd have to go through and rework the system as a whole to keep weapons and AF gear locked to their respective jobs.

I am also fairly sure this is the case - and as I understand it, it's a cultural thing that they don't want to outright say no, so they make deflecting excuses as to why the restrictions don't need to be lifted instead of saying they can't.

So, if that's true, the restrictions aren't arbitrary. They're not being kept in place to prevent immersion-breaking, and they're not proven pointless just because you can glamour level 1 unrestricted outfits onto your gear. They can be broken by NPCs who aren't tied to player gear restrictions, because the rule against combining equipment types is practical rather than aesthetic. And none of this means that they could simply lift restrictions on role-based equipment if they wanted to, because the system simply isn't set up for it.

And for me, if the restrictions are in place because they can't remove them for practical reasons, that's okay. Intermittently disappointing, but okay. Sure it would be nicer if we got access to everything, and if they ever reworked the system, I'd welcome it - but I'm also happy to work within the restrictions we have. It can be a challenge to achieve certain looks within a certain class, but there's also a certain satisfaction to coming up with something unique.

I think the best we can hope for is the release of more replica gear.

So do you guys ever think they will change it from male having there version and females having there version to they can wear both sets male and females cause i been wantting to wear Augmented Rathalos Mail {M} for my female char. It looks pretty freaking cool if you ask me. I guess time will tell.
