So its 0-2 in the male female glamour department, yay?

[BreathlessTao]

Pre-Patch 2.2: Everyone had the same number of potential equippables
Patch 2.2 (26th March 2014): Female characters gained 4 extra equippables
Patch 2.4 (28th October 2014): The number rose to 7
Patch 2.51 (24th February 2015): The number rose to 11
Patch 3.0 (19th June 2015): The number rose to 16
Patch 3.1 (10th November 2015 - as yet unreleased): From the previews alone it looks as though it's rising to at least 25

And you know, besides these raw numbers, there's another part of the issue that should also be highlighted: how so much of the unisex glamour items (and indeed quite a lot of actual relevant/endgame gear too) are so clearly designed with only the females in mind. Whether it's someone's personal aesthetic or not doesn't even matter, because it is a fact - cue that other thread with OP asking for more masculine outfits.

So if it's ok with you, I'm going to keep firmly campaigning until the keys on my keyboard wear out.

...and then you get a new keyboard, I hope.

Side note: i do recall SE saying it was easier to fit gear on female models then it was on male models, if this is true, would that not mean they don't want to bother with fitting gear for males? (i may be wrong with them saying this,if so, please ignore the side note)

YES thank you, I've been meaning to mention that myself, because I too remember them saying so, that because of that, they design the new things for female models first. And I do agree it's kind of ... shady, at least, to be quite honest (even if it would explain pretty much everything). But even if it's true - why does that seem to be stopping them from actually properly catering to male characters? I mean, gods, it's like you're at work and you get a pile of things assigned to do, and you're like "well these are easier, so I'm gonna do these and not really bother with the rest" - how is that rational??? It just ticks me off.

While I technically disapprove of going off topic given how passionate I am about the main debate, and dancing around spoilers as much as I can, I'm beginning to suspect that all of the Scions whose costumes have been hinted at for the cash shop will be receiving clothing upgrades at some stage soon. It would be jarring if there are people walking around dressed in the same way as the storyline characters, but if Tataru's busy upgrading costumes then S-E can release the old ones and keep them in circulation without any overlap. In which case players wearing the new Tataru-brand outfits might be some way off yet.

On that note - one way they could take a slight bit of the edge of "cash-shop-exclusive-items" and give the tiniest bit of depth to the NPCs would be if the next time you meet an NPC whose outfit you're wearing (or maybe those closest to them), they would comment on it. Anything. How weird it is, how funny it is, how embarrassing it is - whatever, just have any sort of a reaction to it. Nothing big, a look and half a sentence would be more than enough.

At this point, I'd rather they start focussing their attention in making ALL gear dyeable; when it come to glamour their reasoning never make sense: mages can wear metal plated armor ... law and gordian gear are metal-plated, color swapped gear for different jobs, DoW being able to wear DoM stuff.

The current Halloween even is perfectly shows what they think of male glamour.

As for dyeability: yeah, it's not enough that we're gonna be seeing even more people who are even more clones of each other (sorry, but with how little options we have in certain areas / how very few of the numbers we have available is actually favoured by players, there's already way too much similarity between characters), clones of NPCs this time around, you'd think it rational to at least throw the option of colours into the mix, to ease up on all the similarities. Apparently, for some reason, it's another no.
The glamour restrictions: been saying this since day 1, the whole set of restrictions is so half-assed and not thought out at all that it should never have been there. The reasoning behind it I can understand, even if it's quite meta and doesn't really have much to do with any in-game practice or lore; however when the execution is a clear one-way street, it's simply bad and it should not have been forced. But of course that's tied to how gear itself is categorised: accessories are pretty much always "all classes", much of the mage gear is also "all classes", whereas warrior gear is almost always restricted to certain class group from lv1 onward, and of course there's no point in placing equip restriction on glamour items... And all in all, when it's just magicking the appearance of a certain item to another one - what does actually wearing that item have to do with anything, anyway??
This year's Halloween outfit though... yeah, let's not even talk about that. -_-

Am I the only one who is annoyed that they are planning to add Hairstyles to the Mog Station regardless of if its a MSQ one or not?

Hang in there until it actually goes live. It might as well turn out to be a headgear piece (an actual wig if you like), instead of a proper hairstyle. With the mod response being so specific about it, I wouldn't be surprised - I mean mentioning that the colour of a hairstyle can be changed, in itself, is quite redundant, since...well...we all have all the colours of the rainbow available to all the hairstyle we have, by default.
