Can we get rid of prisms please?

[Kosmos992k]

Thats exactly my point , I can make prisms myself, and dont even bother selling them because it isnt even worth doing so there is no gil to be made in it esp now with how they changed the system.

You can quickcraft prisms, they take very little effort. Not everything that sells is a big ticket item, but you seem to want them to be. So why don't you transition to those instead of prisms? Your complaint seems extremely self serving now.

Indeed, the crafting aspect of the prisms makes them a nuisance. The other 3 games I mentioned do not require you to craft, or interact with crafters, in order to set your "glamour". All 3 of those games (well at least 2) have very good economies.

Its actually the lower costing items that sell bucket loads that make people the most gil. Its easy to sell prism, because there is high demand, and they dont take long to craft. People are also lazy, and would rather purchase them than craft them themselves.

And not everyone has crafters up to 50 in order to crafter them either.

You have a point there but at the same time think about how many people would be happy, if you could just put on what you wanted without having to worry about if the mb is out of said prisms happened to me recently there where no carp prisms for sell. I'm not sayin it doesn't help crafters at all Im just sayin its an inconvenience and it seems like the devs noticed it and went to one instead of 5. So why not take it a step further and just get rid of it all and just use a system similar to swtor or something thats alot more simple and convenient instead of inconvenient

how is it self serving I would like this system for everyone in the game to literally hey if u wana wear ur pumpkin head just put it on and keep your stats witout having to go to market board. What I,m talkin about is a system to keep your stats but to immediately glam over your stuff as u please without having to go to a mb before doing so are having stacks of prisms thats not self serving that would be for everyone in the game.

To take your example of SWOTR, the mentioned ingame currency for the glamouring process in FFXIV is a glamour prism and it is fine.
Only Issues are this:

The only issues with glamour is 1) there's no glamour gallery that stores glamour pieces, and 2) glamour works on a item-by-item basis, and should be on a slot-by-slot basis, saved alongside the gearset itself.

I'm all for them adding an npc or something you can pay gil at if you want to, like repair npcs or the new melding npc, but dont take away the ability for players to o stuff themselves. I shouldn't have to spend gil to glamour just because a few people are too lazy to craft or buy prisms.

How is this lazy tho , think of the new player that has to wear that hideous gear before they hit level 50 without the prism system , then they could even wear what they want just make glamour a thing that you can do instead of something you have to work towards. Im not understanding the problem with this idea, like crafters have literally 100s of items that they can sell each and you think its wrong to do away with five of them that Im sure isnt making anybody rich now.

Your central complaint was the cost of the prisms, so you want to do away with them. The price of prisms is based purely on supply and demand. Prisms will increase in cost if supply drops and demand remains static, or increases. Prices will drop if supply exceeds demand. Prisms are a high turnover item, there is clear demand so it is a reliable element of the MB economy. If you want the glamour system changed to be better there are plenty of suggestions to be made, but it seems that your specific suggestion is aimed at reducing the cost of glamoring your gear.

When I started playing there wasnt even a glamour system at all. So that's kind of a silly argument :P Besides, doesn't it feel that much better to get up to a certain point and be able to finally start setting up your appearance the way you want to?

Besides, as you said, they aren't very expensive, so why even take them away?

[bswpayton]

Your central complaint was the cost of the prisms, so r.

No haha I was saying the system as a whole, like actually needing a prism to glamour to begin with the cost of a prism is nothing and plus I can make cloth prisms for days. I would rather just have a system where you literally just pasted over whatever u wanted to glam and be done with it, I dont see why an item needs to be used for this like I mention swtor had such a simple and easy system you pay like a little bit of gil where ever u are in the game and ur done instant glamour I really dont see the issue with something like this.
