    Or, we could have Rift or WildStar's system and not have to carry around ANYTHING related to glamour and change outfits whenever we want...

I prefer the current system, which let's me keep the glamours that are relevant to me and get rid of the rest.
    Nothing would stop you from only learning the appearances of the few armor pieces you want. Good grief. -_-;

    And would people stop assuming you pay with these other systems?? Making an outfit in Rift or WildStar costs ZERO plat. None. Completely free.

    I already dont have to carry around the stuff, its on a retainer.

    and it would get rather difficult to sift through all the gear we can glamour, even in a log. theres hundreds of gear pieces in the game.

    edit: according to a quick search on xivdb, there are 2,853 pieces of equipable gear for dow/dom jobs.

    Speaking as someone who plays both games regularly, it really is not difficult. Having a bunch of options at my fingertips, whenever I want, is conducive to greater flexibility in how my character looks.

    Honestly, this is a complaint I've never seen before and it completely baffles me.

    Considering there's at minimum 600 individual pieces per slot, glamour logs in this game would become increasingly unwieldy and cumbersome to deal with. When I want to glamour something, I don't want to have to shuffle through page after page after page of glamours I don't want or like to get to the four or five that do. A glamour log that unlocks everything as soon as you pick up the relevant piece would be a complete nightmare, as opposed to the 1-2 pages I have to look through now. I know what look suits my character.

    Then... don't learn everything? This isn't a real problem. Better customization and improvement on a terribly clunky system is > someone's minor complaint that they don't want to have to click through pages in a glamour log. Opening up my character panel to the Wardrobe tab and clicking on a gear slot to browse through available gear appearances there would be a heck of a lot more convenient than having to go through my inventory and retainers and right click-try on a bunch of items crowded onto two different retainers (and hopefully I'm not looking for something I shoved in the armoire).

    That said, I highly doubt there are 600 unique armor models for each slot. MANY items use the same model. You're not going to be sifting through every unique item ID - just armor/weapon appearances. So basically, the problem you're worried about wouldn't be an issue.

    Have you ever heard of "filters"?

    Highly confident that IF SE were to implement a glamour log, they would give us a 'Favorites' section similar to the crafting logs, possibly with 10 glamours per slot

    Not only that, but logic would dictate that items that share appearances (of which there are many in this game) would not unlock multiple times.
