The only people negatively affected by it are Holy Pallies who see their gear drop at 1/2 to 1/3 the rate of everyone else. But even then, they have less people to compete against so really the only thing they can whine about is a somewhat greater chance of getting RNG gibbed.
The only problem is stupid people that don't understand how loot works seeing a Pally item drop and going, "Man, that coulda been Item X that I needed if only Pallies weren't the only ones with their armor type!"
I mean, with the same logic that would put Holy Pallies in Mail, we could put all non-Tanks into Mail too. I mean, really. Besides the lore, what about Ret Pallies requires them to be in Plate? Or Warriors? Or DKs?
