There was a recent Dev post explaining the glamour system's mechanics. They actually trolled us fantasia lobbyist in it. I can't find the post because my search skills are terrible.
The post demonstrated how a little female lala could change the appearance of her equipment. In one of the slides they had the lala turn into an elezen tall female, then basically admitted they were trolling us.

I vote to discontinue this thread and just /ragequit in protest. that troll was a blow below the belt SE! BAD SHOW! BAD SHOW!
