The class restrictions is a bigger one IMO, but design-wise, I think this is SE's explicit decision. It's their game. In their game, they don't want the immersion broken by seeing a Scholar in the Warrior AF armour. Comparatively, TERA's devs seem to think it's OK to implement 21st century outfits in THEIR game. But I know I don't want anything to do with that. Certainly, I think it would be very odd to see a fistfighter dancing around in heavy plate armour.
This is a deliberate choice that I support, but I think it's legit people aren't so crazed about it. I'm just personally sympathetic to SE's 'vision'.
Why is "not being able to bind a higher ilvl item to a lower ilvl" a very First World Problem to you? I'm not really sure how that makes any kind of sense, especially as you're not not taking into consideration how others might wish to use the vanity system.
I'm probably of a minority here that actually loves to have alts, and really dislikes the overdependence of cross-class, everything on one character approach that SE's taken. Is it too much to ask that my alts, who I use mostly for RP can wear character appropriate gear without say, leveling them to 40 to grind a dungeon for the one robe that I want for them so that they're not stuck being RPed in a sack or subligar? Similarly, the only reason I've tried to level my main to 50 in weaver, is because I want the weaver AF for sheer vanity. I don't actually want to be a weaver. I just want their coat! (eventually I ran out of steam and gil...) So I don't think its quite fair to say that "You're only leveling secondary classes to hit 50 anyway, so it's a fleeting and relatively trivial problem at best."
As for TERA, the modern outfits are cash-shop vanity items that really started to take over after they went f2p. What Naunet was talking was their "remodeling system", that ate the armor as a template when you applied it to another piece of armor.
Edit: Apparently Nau is a faster responder than I... :p
