Wanna Glam it? Play it!

[Tsiron]

The more I've thought about it, I think making it so we can use (almost) any gear on any class *for Glamour purposes* by getting its appropriate class to the requisite level first would be an elegant way to loosen restrictions the way Glamour currently works, and provide incentive for some folks (like me!) to play classes/roles they might not touch otherwise! What I'm describing is a feature they eventually added to Final Fantasy XI! It's quickly become my #1 wish for FFXIV, it really would add a whole new level of freedom..

Want to use a level 70 Tank chestpiece as a DPS or Healer? Level a Tank to 70 and it's yours! Jandor brings up a valid point later in the thread, actually. An alternatively method of assessment would be necessary since some Jobs start way ahead of others, and it would thus be easy to cheat the system...

Can it be done, in terms of the game's code? We can only speculate, but... look, the way I see it if the devs decide something's worth doing they'll figure it out. And the only way we'll get them to that point is if enough of us voice our support so don't forget to like, comment, and hit that sub button~!

I'd be curious to hear what you all think of this as sort of a solution to the "we can't remove class restrictions it would ruin immersion!" excuse (conveniently ignoring all the bikini tanks, people dressed like Sims™, stupid mascot costumes etc.), since it would ensure people had to earn the ability to use, and therefore Glam, whatever gear it is they're after..! Artifact gear could stay class-specific, since basically every one of these threads I've seen most agreed that that should be the case. It's all the in-between sets people wish they could use.
