Why SE needs to implement a GearSet Armoire

As everyone probably notice, SE loves making players revisit old content and dungeons. Most of the time these contents yield rewards such as low-level gear which most people just exchange for seal or gil, which is fine.

But what of those who like to collect said gears for glamour purposes? They are forced to use their retainers' precious inventory space to store said pieces and once full have to make the hard choice of picking which hard earned piece they would have to sell. an gearset armoire would be a perfect solution for keeping valuable sets and create incentives for collectors to run a dungeon over and over to complete a set.

comments and thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)

In FFXI you had, when I started, 1 Option:

There was a Storage npc that would take full sets of a specific set gear and store it, but only the full set, and only the full set could be taken out. When taking something out there was a minor fee.

Later on they introduced porter moogles. You bought slips, and from a specific type you could trade items in. Lets put it in FFXIV Terms.
Seperated in Class/Job quests where you could store all your AF; Special Zone drops (here it would be CT/Coil1/Coil2) and Special Sets (Darklight) and also rewards
Normal Old sets still needed to be traded to the Old Npc, but this time also HQ would be possible, but signed items would lose signatures

Some of the stuff I mentioned can be stored in the armoire now, but always HAVING to go to the in room for that is a bit ugh.

I Got a monthly billed retainer, so I have enough space, because one of my retainers has 120 slots full with gear.

Where's my mannequins in my personal room and house, SE?

I recall the "mannequin quest" in XI... no easy when it was new. ^^'

SE wants your monies (additional retainers) so no...

And I don't see that changing soon as it wouldn't be fair for players who paid (I'm all for that change though lol)

I want this and I would imagine some other players would want it too. Looks like a nice way to send some old players on low lv dungeons just for the sake of collecting.

I still have on my retainer the full battlemage, infantry and cavalry sets from brayflox. It feels wrong to trade them for some pointless seals but they do take a bit of space.

I'm one of them and I still think that when it comes to fair there's nothing fair in some players having more inv space because they can pay more $$$ in the first place. I don't think we have the right to cry about fairness.

This has nothing to do with fairness to the paying people, we decided on our own to do that.
I mainly did it because I wanted an Elezen female that calls me Milady and goes on Ventures for me.
And because I have so much crafting stuff.

Now the hoarding of Cute looking drops hit me harder. (But no I only reed on such stuff if I see there are people in it that would need it more than me)

I would love to have mannequins. Even like 2 or 3. And, you could set aromur/weapon/accessories and click it and it would swap your current with the mannequin. =D

No idea about XI but I fully support a sort of wardrobe system for glamour. Save the skins of all gear you obtain and be able to glamour them with a few clicks (prism still required).

I want these for personal housing.

Hopefully not behind some god awful and damned near impossible quest like in FFXI.

Maybe the black ones you see in the craftes class quests
I hope they would be dyeable
