Please lift glamour restrictions!

[bswpayton]

You are making grand delusions here. I would like to see your stats for that first line because i doubt glamour is nearly as important as you make it out to be.
No developer would want to even consider remaking the whole armor system (which effects a lot more then glamours) if that is what it takes to get your freedom.



What x y and z games actually?
As far as i know all games actually have this restriction, the only which i am not sure about is GW2.

I will state again what other game lets you play 13 different classes on one character I'm willing to bet that its very few. That being said what does this game do to even try to explain that you an adventurer can go to all these guilds and have the skill and no how to do all of these jobs,they dont at all. You don't even have a true identity unless you make one for yourself, what Im saying is you are going to let us play every job on one character then essentially we are all those jobs, we arent just a warrior, blm, or scholar we are all of them.

So why does it make sense to only be able to wear heavy Armour when your a tank, because you are a tank still even if you are a healer, the only thing that matters is the weapon that you have in the main hand slot. The op is referring to a glamour system he or she isnt asking for healers to be able to wear tank gear, or summoner gear and get their stats they are asking to be able to paste over their gear with the glamour system which should have zero restrictions if you are in fact all of the jobs. And I dont know what sever you are on but every-time I look at a character that's above level 50 they are wearing some type of glamour , if glamour wasnt 75 percent of the game then I dont think the phrase glamour is endgame would exist.

This isnt just any game because every game doesnt let you run every class they have to offer on one character so why not embrace that instead of tryin to have lock outs like you are playing a game that you can only wear certain gear on certain jobs.

XI with 22 jobs. Yes, I went there.

This would be the best thing they could do! Also, at no time are you asking to "unlock" all the equipment at the same time, they could do it slowly, a few per patch!

And people who do not like the idea, can simply refrain from using this glamour

Read what i am saying.
I am not talking about a gameplay standpoint, or anything like that.
I am talking about a pure technical mess it would be to create what you want. The glamour system is already tacked on as it is.
Once again, the whole system is based around you showing gear you can wear because somewhere the game actually thinks you are wearing said gear.
Now let's say we simply remove the job restrictions on any peace of gear. You just turned the loot argument into full on wars because it would mean that everyone can need on any piece of gear.
It is simply not just an easy switch and changing this would most likely revamping the entire armory system and everything around out it adjusted. We are talking about a gigantic update, all for this silly glamour.

Never said it would be simple or easy. I just said this change is something that would dramatically improve the current glamour system. Though I'd hardly call it a "gigantic" update. IMO, they SHOULD be working on an entirely new glamour system on their test servers as we speak, given how much negative feedback it's gotten over the year(s) it's been out. Something that gets constant criticisms of is something that likely deserves some changing, if not a complete overhaul.

[edit] Augh, didn't mean to double-post. Sorry about that!

So they would have to fix the code. Yes, it would take some work, but I really doubt it is that big a deal - unless the code is really badly written to start with.
