(They said they tried, only for items to vanish from it, only to end up being mailed back to the owner.) Their inventory was designed to be modular aside from said backpack so they're able to slowly increase it in size (Their bank is too, as it has bag slots), unlike our inventory which has a pretty clearly defined size, which may explain some of our issues.
Can that argument not be made for a glamour log too? There exists no such system, and as such it would be a completely new addition. It would take quite a bit of work but not to the point of reworking the entire game, just the glamour system and considering this game is almost a dress up game with the variety it has, there's no discussion to be had whether or not that effort would be worth it (a definite yes). I believe the glamour system was also added in 2.1 (correct me if I'm wrong), meaning it's not attached to the core code of the game in anyway, just an addition. It all boils down to SE not wanting to give them more money to host the data I'd think, without a return why bother? Even with Activision having a merger with Blizzard they still doubled their development team, and throw huge money into the project even when it's not as popular as it used be. FFXIV only gets more popular without an increase in budget (can't say I've heard a business not expanding on a successful venture before).

What I would do for something like this in FFXIV...

Edit before posting: I guess you were talking about the inventory? Even then, they've shown that they're capable of more retainer space, so they really have no excuse there.
