The real big stupid one is that it's restricted to only what your class can equip. That's silly. It tremendously limits the possible outfits we can construct, especially for Disciples of Magic. Tanks will be able to use basically everything and the casters will get to use nothing but cloth.This isn't a restriction I personally mind either. Every single game has it, there are always some armour pieces that can only be worn by a class and not by another, which encourages people to level multiple characters (and I think that's the point). At least in FFXIV you can level multiple classes with the same character, so you can actually wear every single piece of cloth of you put a bit of effort into it. And I think that's the key word here, effort; if you want something, you have to work for it. Again, they aren't asking for something impossible, as leveling is not difficult at all.
So yes, in the end, your character can wear any piece you want. Just get the level and class needed, it's simple as that. Working for a goal is one of the main points in MMORPGs, after all; you can't expect the game to give you everything without putting a minimum of effort into it.
