"First World Problem"? We're talking about a video game. It's all "First World Problems", my friend. You'd do well to not denigrate another's opinion.
It's not even just alternate classes. What about alts? As I said, in TERA I could have a large number of characters purely for roleplay and didn't have to worry about them being stuck in some god-awful newbie clothing. There's a lot of gear in this game that's BoE, so there would be ample opportunity to outfit a low level alt with a nice set of clothes for roleplay. As we're roleplayers here, I would hope you could understand such a thing.
Your comment about TERA is irrelevant, as that type of armor isn't something we're likely to see in XIV - though I'll point out, we do have some very ridiculous outfits, such as the snowman one, the reindeer one, and the giant chocobo outfit.
As for your second point: It is not our job to roll over and take everything SE does as the Will of our Developer Gods. It is our job as consumers to point out when something is implemented in a way we do not like. It doesn't matter that it's their game. It's my money. It's everyone else's money. We're the ones funding "their" game. We always deserve a say in decisions like this.
