Not in my art! How absurd! No fun allowed here!"
It's going down something like that in my head. And I was thinking about keeping the artifact armors to their respective jobs, buuut I'm starting to think of things I can do with some pieces from those job armors. There is so many things I want to use. ;;

I actually think that's exactly what it is. They're pretty anal about keeping things lore friendly to the T. Even if that means restricting jobs of glorious glamour opportunities. i.e. "This outfit doesn't feel fitting for this job. Denied!"

I just want a glamour log so my glamour activities don't have to include deleting glamours for inventory space. Everything else would be icing on the cake.

SE needs to learn how to be flexible with glamour. Period. Or anything, really. I'm sensing some odd stagnation that may spread to more than just glamour restrictions. Maybe it's already happening. I don't know.

$1 each? If this thing actually happen, it would be at least $10 each...

Meanwhile I'm seeing all these bikini clad, chocobo-head tanks running around while I can't equip sturdy boots on my healers without buying Lyse's undyable gear off of mogstation.

I'm curious. Have they ever commented on the bikini tanks, when it comes to their various glamour-related excuses, or do bikini tanks get a free pass?

ilevel 1
need the specific DoH class at level 70 to be able to glamour that gear on other jobs
Mog Shop

I think they only have to change the class/job restriction from "only gears that the current job can wear" to "only gears that the character can already wear"
This will give the players a good motivation to level up multiple classes/jobs again, after the class-cross skills got removed.

Lorewise the bikini is an illusion. It look like a bikini, but it isn't.

I haven't played in years, but when I did you could easily farm those in game. Did they take out the ability to earn them in game?



The glamour restrictions are silly and counterproductive in many ways including financially.

End game is pretty stale with the current restrictions. You can spot what people are wearing a mile away and it's sad. A lot of creativity and player enjoyment is lost because a developer wants to retain a sense of lore that no longer exists considering the bikini clad chocobo head wearing players that run around.

Hell, even the developers bull headed restriction on dying gear in the cash shop is losing them revenue. Why does their vision of how we should look matter more than players enjoyment and the additional revenue they would generate if they stopped being so bull headed?

As a side note, I quit SWTOR a few months after release. I couldn't take my characters all looking like clowns or end game like everyone else. Back then they had no outfit system so what every you found you looked like. I came back when they introduced the cash shop and probably spent a good 100 dollars every month buying outfits for a while. I don't spend money on outfits, but I still subscribe to this day without actually playing. I log on with every new pack and buy up all the new outfits for in game money. I've been doing this for 2 or more years mainly to collect outfits but rarely to leave my "house".

Opening up the outfit system and allowing all gear in the cash shop to be dyed would easily keep players like me around for years to basically do nothing but play dress up and occasionally do holiday content.

You get piles of transmog for free if you pvp win or lose fights since you progress with rewards no matter the out come of the PvP match. Don't need to spend a single cent on GW2 cash shop items since everything can be obtained for free in this game even cash shop items since the game allows players to obtain cash items by converting ingame gold to Gems.
