Alternative solution to glamour log

[savageink]

I literally have NO motivation to run content right now because I cannot store any more effin' armors for glamour.

To put this in perspective, I resubbed to WoW about 5 months ago after being away for 4 years. I've not even bought Legion yet. But I've remained subbed and happy just slowly farming up old armor sets and things to unlock in the transmog log. If you want to maintain subscriptions, encouraging people to farm armor appearances is THE way to do it. There is a reason your players say "Glamour is the real endgame" - because it is the CORE motivation that keeps players going back into content long after they've mastered it. However, what point is there in doing that when I cannot actually store any of the potential armors that I could get? Why would I ever want to go in and farm Dun Scaith or whatever when I have no room for the gear? Why bother with farming Alexander, or buying the numerous crafted items? Why bother making any Mogstation purchases? I have no room to store any of it, so I don't do it!!!

Absolultely! It's like no matter how many times we try to point out that people like collecting things, not using them and throwing them out, they just seem to stick their fingers in their ears and go "Lalalala!" Then a few months later they add to basic inventory which fixes nothing but shuts some people up for a few weeks until it's full again. My armor literally takes up half my armory and half my on hand inventory. Once Stormblood starts, my armor will probably have enough space to move into the armory but then new stuff comes. My 2 retainers (i refuse to pay for more) are full of crafting and house and special items that they haven't put in the chest for no known reason. Since I'm not hardcore on crafting and only do it when I feel like it, I can live without a crafting bank, but I feel sorry for crafters. A real glam log, though, would fix every storage problem I have, now that Apartments are getting an item bump.

Anyway, the collector urge is what drives people to go back in to get the full set of armor, and there is a significant number of people who want to collect them all. Ignoring that is a disservice to the players.

Ignoring that is a disservice to the players.

Unless you count not implementing it as the sole criteria for not ignoring it, they haven't.

They just haven't given the answer certain individuals have been fishing for. Unless you buy into a conspiracy theory that they are doing this just to make people spend extra money on retainers, then we ultimately have to accept that they will work toward the solutions that they can feasibly implement and continue to provide constructive feedback on the kinds of systems/features we want to see added...

Instead of immediately accusing them of excuses and lying and shady tactics designed solely to make a buck at our expense, as some posters here are wont to do.

Nah. I don't really think think the retainers are some big conspiracy. I think it's just kind of a lazy solution. I think they have a certain set of priorities and we haven't given them enough of a push to find a solution. I've worked in Japanese companies, they are glacial and you have to get everyone behind something to get things moving. So, I also see nothing wrong with people talking about this over and over again. It's the only way it will get noticed.
