I think the existing glamour system is the solution to the plates. The biggest thing people were complaining about was the inability to glamour a black mage from a summoner, etc. Adding a retainer with plate powers was a quick fix.

Here, we can see with the housing system, what a fleshed out and well designed system could have been.

For clarity, I'm not saying that a glamour system is as easy as 1,2,3 tada, a rabbit out of a hat. But, showing this example makes me think they could do it.

At the moment your character carries so much data, it's ridiculous. I have no idea why they don't just move it to a central system.

So, like everything else I guess but MAN that slap in the face getting it with the housing stuff instead.

If they have to disable current Glamour dresser for a time to give us a system like this, I am TOTALLY OK WITH THAT.

That's what I'm saying. They didn't want to put enough resources into the bad system to make it a good system.

Well this sums up how I feel

I mean... a database with all the necessary glamour items would be at least 10x bigger than the one for housing even without counting having to load for each race and gender , but sure, it's exactly portable. 9__9

I think the complaint may have more to do with the fact that not everyone can actually get a house and something that many wanted are only available for a select number.

It doesn't matter if you're a raider, a casual, pvp, RPer.

Glamour is the true end game. I think everyone agrees on that.

The sets in this game is are so beautiful. It's such a shame they're all behind such a limited, bulky system.

Glamour is not the end game. It may be YOUR end game. I find it amusing you think because they created one system for furniture it would be very easy to apply this to the glamour system as well. Stick to your day job OP.

Just copy the WoW system. All gear that's been bound to you (Can't be traded to other players) is added to the "dresser" and can be used to build "plates" No need to visit a dresser, all features are available anywhere. Even if the gear has been deleted, vendored, or broken down, it's appearance is still available.

Even if they did abide by your request do you realize this would require a lot of development time? Are you ok with losing a few dungeons or perhaps an ultimate for your glamour system? As an expansion is about to drop this development team has no time whatsoever to make changes to the current systems. They need to focus on the smoothest launch possible and continue to pump out content every 3 months. There is no mmo available that releases quality content that often.

....The new system has literally nothing to do with owning a house. You don't have to own one to use that system. And FC rooms and apartments are a thing so that's not even a good argument.
