Specifically DoH gear. While I have supported restrictions on gear in the past, especially for job and gender specific attire, my grip has loosened a bit for DoH gear and this is why:
  • From my observations, very few players actually allocate glamour plates to DoH classes and this leads to these absolutely lovely designs being largely unused.
  • Players would probably use them more if more glamour plates were available, but this is not the case right now.
  • I respect development time, and feel it should go towards what players will benefit from. Since time does go into designing DoH specific gear per class every expansion, but not a lot of players use them. I would rather the dev team either do away with it entirely in favor of more available glamour choices/hairstyles, or make these outfits available for all classes so they can be enjoyed by more players when designing their glamour plates for other jobs.

Hopefully this shows that views can change over time. Even mine. It isn't very broad in this case, but even a little can go a long way. I really like how some of these look on combat classes. Here is the Boltsoph's Swallowtail on my SCH. I really love the look!
