Have you ever tried to get a good grip on something while wearing a thick pair of gloves? New problem created. And anyways, wearing metal gloves will almost certainly make you slip no matter your hold.

My thoughts exactly. If you started sliding down a rope quickly, and tried to catch yourself, even with leather gloves, you'd be going so fast that there's a good chance the gloves would be torn right off your hands, if you could even get a grip. Not letting sheets (aka ropes) slide through your hands is one of the first things you learn when you sail; if nobody teaches you you'll learn the hard way (my method of instruction was the latter tbh).

It should also be noted now that the climbable ropes now in the Mod are rope ladders, not climbing ropes, and they couldn't be slid down in any case.
