Im totally with getting rid of type AND grade. It makes no sense.
GREAT IDEA! I love it.
If the idea was having higher level gear to require higher level prisms or more mats, then the prisms should be like 200/400/600/800/1000 gil.
It is seriously disturbing how some people in here seem to confuse "this system is unnecessarily complex" with "this system is too complicated". It's not hard to understand - no shit, Hildibrand - it's ridiculously unwieldy to use, and takes up precious inventory space. I'm also of the impression some people in this thread don't understand basic math, not to mention economics. But anyway, economics was never the point of this suggestion - QoL was. And even assuming this would make glamour prisms completely worthless (hint: it won't), there's enough other ways to make money in this game, really. Nobody will miss 40 different types of prisms.
I'll agree that the system is needlesly complex.
But for all it's worth if your steamlining the system why have the prisms at all? Want a proper gilsink in the game? Just charge a gil-cost based on Ilvl of the base gear (Not the glamor) not alot but it's one way to make it easy for players to spend small ammounts of gil for the glamor system to preform a role in the game econimy still without being a 50 inventory slot hellstorm of wasted time and sapce.
Support this 100%.
In an ideal world, SE would copy DCUO's glamour system and no one would have any concerns about glamours.
In the world we currently have, I think they should have made it so Grade 1/2/3/4/5 Glamour Prisms were for gear Lv 1-10/11-20/21-30/31-40/41-50, then added a Grade 6 glamour prism for 51-60.
Well they are going to have keep changing the grades or add more as we increase in ilvl.
