Can we have a 'vanity' equipment slot?

If adding new beards/tattoos & the like are so difficult... and you continue going the route of giving us new staches/tattoos in the form of equips (which they've confirmed are too difficult & will go this route)...

How about give us a vanity equipment slot?

Like, I'd love to equip the "False Moustache" & new Sugarloaf Hat at the same time.

Of course, certain equipment would overwrite such choices.

Say Body Tattoos were 'equippable', armors that cover your skin entirely would prevent the rendering of such a body tattoo but ones that showed a lot of skin wouldn't.

They've said this both indirectly and directly over and over for the past year whenever someone asks about additional slots for stuff, from the tacklebox, to a shared bank, to additional armoury space...
They can't. The characters are too bloated as they are, any introducing more space to be able to accommodate these spaces would cause problems for those on older PCs and the PS3.
So, yes, PS3 limitations. Again.

you are asking for another "equipment" slot while ignoring the reason why it isnt/hasnt happened. your request would increase chr data size, and in turn, increase server load.

They didn't say anything about PS3 limitations. The issue is server space from character data.

Indeed, and to explain why this is such a huge concern in this game but not others, consider for a moment that we have 20 different classes we can switch between with their own stats and abilities. We also have 335 armoury chest slots in addition to 100 regular inventory slots on top of the 175 inventory slots on each of our 2 default retainers. Also factor in the graphic complexity of each and every character and you have some surprisingly huge characters in comparison to games where one character has one class.

There's some PS3 limitations in there too, though. At least as far as the reason we don't have more doohickeys showing on our character, or why they technically had to downgrade the graphics quality between 1.0 and 2.0 (though I personally see it more as streamlining, but that's just me)

Servers are being upgraded for Heavensward, they've confirmed more available Character Data for the expansion.

Please, don't insult me so much about 'doing my research' when you clearly haven't done your own.

Probably should have lead off with something along the lines of "with the coming server updates and character data increase stated to be in the expansion, would you please add a vanity slot?" Regardless of what knowledge of the game the responders may or may not have had, nothing in your post suggested you meant in the expansion, beyond it's impending release.

Just because they're upgraded character data doesn't mean they're able/willing to add the vanity slots you want, though. The most they'll do is add it so you can assign glamours based on Gear Set List rather than the item itself.
It would in fact be easier to actually add a "face" and "back" slot for items, that would actually end up getting used for things such as capes, fake mustaches, and masks. And for tattoos it would be easier to add them as an option on the aesthetician than to add an item slot just for them unless, again, it conferred a bonus of some sort. Which IS possible.
However, slots JUST for vanity seem like a waste of resources.

I'm not assuming they are... your words act like I don't know that; this' a REQUEST, it can be denied just fine if they're unable/unwilling.

I understand that the reason we dont have a vanity slot is, because of server space. Can someone explain to me, why they cant make the new beard something like a hairstyle?
