Unlock crafter & gatherer gear restrictions

[Shinku_Tachi]

An excuse for what though? That they create AF gearsets every expansion for each job/class and lock those sets to the job/class they were designed around tells me they care, far far too much perhaps, about making those sets exclusive to the jobs they designed them for because of their notion of them exemplifying job identity.

I may not agree with the Devs but I don't believe they're making an excuse to cover anything up. They simply care too much about adherence to job identity when it comes to the AF sets instead of letting players actually enjoy them.

I guess the feeling varies from person to person.
There is always the crafted set, until the later seal gear upgrade, if folks want the omni set.

Personally, I'll always go with the omni set for crafters and gathers. With my crafters, I'll always glam on the Artisan's set, because I love the aesthetics. With my gatherers, I always glam on the lvl 50 AF, because I like it showcasing the job identity and I love the aesthetics.

Agreed. Glamour should be made unrestricted besides perhaps artifact sets for combat jobs.

They disallow this because its a time sink. A time sink for you is a profit for them. This gathering/crafting gear which is locked is endgame gear (or it used to be) so its implemented in a manner that takes forever for you to obtain and be happy with it. SE is now conflicted as one half of the forum rages about job identity while the other half of the community wants to be "cross dressers" and throw job identity out the window (appearance-wise). So, you see, they're damned if they do allow it, and damned if they don't. Now what? Since "does this immediately make me a profit?" is their motto....

I feel like it being a timesink should be the number one reason to allow you to cross-glam it
If you've earned it, you should be able to wear it cosmetically
Reminder that SE has in the past released new gear sets that ae cosmetically the same as an old set, but the pieces have been rearranged to be given to other jobs. Hell, there are version of the sky rat and sky pirate gear that are level 1 crafted and considered universal glam

The biggest issue I have is that my gatherers and crafted share gear, but job locked glams just don’t work with shared gear. I use the firmament glam items for my gatherers, and if I swap between them outside of a sanctuary it makes me look silly.

Yep, having to go back to the city every time I change my gathering job drives me effin crazy, lol.

You know what I cannot get behind?
Why we even have different crafters and gatherers except for stretching the playtime.

Most people will end up as omi crafters/ gatherers anyway. Why not consolidate them into a single DoH / DoF with an omnitool with which we can craft anything recipe without the need to switch jobs in between crafts.

Unlock the restrictions of the gear so that we can go with a preferred aesthetic and I'll be happy.
