So will Glamours Require Crafting?

[Versiroth]

They've already said they're not going to do vanity slots on a separate tab. To be honest if you won't use the system simply because it requires some kind of social interaction to use it then I'd guess you were never really interested in it to begin with. I assume you never get materia melds either?

Personally I hope it does require DoH in some form as it should serve to boost the economy a bit. I fail to see how it's any different to pay another player to do it compared to paying an NPC to do it for you.

The only thing I ever get melded are the weapons for the Relic quest (And I'll only use the FC or just buy premelded weapons if they're available). And it's not about being "social". I'm social in this game all the time, so you can take out that straw man. The fact is, I only have a few hours to play per day (if that) and I don't want to waste time shouting and waiting for a meld or for glamours. Especially when you're trying to glamour 20+ items for all of your different jobs. Melds aren't bad, as they're only truly required for your relic, but forcing us to shout and wait for a crafter to glamour tons of pieces for us would take all the fun out of the new vanity system.

If crafting is involved, they need to just make it so a crafted item is required for you to do the glamour yourself (or through an NPC). That way, crafters could feel useful without forcing everyone else to jump through annoying hoops.
