Racial gear being tied to the race body itself will limit it yeah but it is otherwise a huge change for glamours. The crafter stuff has a ton of really good glamours, alchemist for combat medic kind of stuff, blacksmith has notably one of the best chest pieces for monk type glamours with just the cloth band over the chest, GSM and WVR had plenty of dapper style stuff you couldn't use otherwise, miner and fisher have some cool looking stuff too.
Another big thing is those glamours that were class restricted then released again a few expansion later as crafted but for another class so you still had to farm the shitty dungeons for yours, or the crafted one had bad dyes on some areas compared to the original but you could only use that and so on, now you just pick.
It's just a very good change overall considering a lot of people who stay subbed for long periods of time are people very into glamours and housing and all that and the original reason for not allowing it completely disappeared years ago when they kept releasing weird sets that didn't fit the class imagery anyway(like the Judge armor sets being full plate armor for casters anyway, all the casual wear for tanks and so on). Now if they could delete the glamour dresser and plates shit and just have a proper binary checklist for all gear looted and just have dyes saved separately in a limited way if they really care about that(which I guess they do since they sell them in the cash shop).
No BLU info kinda sucks though, wonder if they'll be skipping BLU updates this expansion in favor of Beastmaster. Would seriously suck if they go "we can only do one per expansion" kind of deal.
