What's wrong with class specific equipment? Classes are a part of the game., as are jobs. In some instances, it may be better to use a class. And please don't counter this with instances in which jobs are better, as there are instances in which classes work better. You don't like class exclusive armor? Would you rather more armor that would blow your AF and current gear that jobs can use into uselessness? How would they implement it? Anything better than that would have to be harder to obtain, and at present, that's not an option that they can add.

My only advice is this. Either ignore it all if you don't like it and wait for content you do like, quit playing, or quit bitching and being close-minded. Classes are staying, and for them to be decent when they need to be, they need decent equipment.
