Why Not Remodel the Summons?

The devs have said, for, around 5 years now, that they don't want the pets to have more presence than the summoner and to reduce cpu/gpu load, if you guys can't understand that after so many years I'm sorry.

The people who create the game have a better understanding of coding and performance than many of you.

However, they have taunted us with (empty) promise of summon glamours months back. Whether we actually see it or not is an entirely different matter, but there was dev talk of doing something about the summon's looks.

For those who are picky about sources

"However, I’m sure many are wondering if they will have to continue looking at the same egi forever, but we are planning to add a system in the future that will allow you to change the appearance of your egis, including Carbuncle, but their stats will remain the same."

"We are planning to add a system in the future." For some odd reason that seems to have been misunderstood by a lot of players. I see some people basically interpreting it as "They said they'd do it and they haven't done it yet so we should cry nonstop on the forums that they're never going to implement it because they don't update us on its status every two days." Not being given an update doesn't mean they've forgotten it or that the promise was empty. It just means they haven't found time to fit it into the development schedule yet. I mean, it affects the cosmetic appearance of one character class. It's not exactly the highest priority.
