All this aside it is clear that Yoshida also feel that the current class restrictions and rank restrictions need rebalancing, I can only hope that isn't swayed by the few loud voices on these forums.
It definately should be asked in the next poll though.

[dev1012] Higher visibility of the optimal rank of items
[dev1013] Reassessment of the gear affinities
[dev1014] Reexamination of class-based requirements for gear

Essentially yeah, it says im a noob, or, i could give a damn about this classes gear. I honestly think its a good solution. Because really the gear is already weaker than your optimal gear, and equiping anything non favored is super crappy, however people dont realize it.

Basically if they use a similar plan to mine, it will enhance class uniquness in looks, and add the desire to get higher level for that special cool looking gear. But, it still allows for equipping of a basic gear when you are not really concerned about it.

In the long run they may want to add something that allows you to customize your look completely and just use armor for stats, but this should probably be a high level or endgame thing, or maybe you should only be able to do that for gearskins in which you have actually obtained the proper rank/class, and the items. of course this would lower charachter/class/discipline uniqeuness look wise, but ehhhh.
