Of course, then the issue becomes everyone rolling for all kinds of gear because why the hell not? Which is obviously the problem they wanted to avoid in the first place by segregating gear so heavily.
There's really not an easy fix to this situation. Either you would allow the glamours to be used even when your class can't actually wear the gear in question (my preferred method, but then you let mages wear plate and all that jazz, which Yoshida apparently doesn't like), or you somehow only allow gear with the correct primary attributes to count for ilvl. Which would actually be nice, because, you know, running into tanks with dex accessories is not fun for anyone involved.
Actually, screw it. They should do both! Forget class identity - what the hell does that even mean when you have people running around in light steel galerusi (is that the right word?) with every class under the sun? It's nonsense is what it is! Blarrrgh!
