Please lift the insane level restriction on when you can glamour

[Paladinleeds]

rather setting up individual outfits that don't change even when we change out to new gear... gah, that would be wonderful.

Yeah, and you could still make the glamour prisms required for that if crafters really don't want rid of them. I think the current setup and how quickly we go through gear meaning we have to use prism after prism after prism is the main point of contention. Myself, if the other features you suggested were implemented, I'd be happy with glamour prisms being kept. Demand would go down aye. But, I don't think it'd be too horrible. And would strike a nice middle ground and would be FFXIV's way of being unique. With WoW, you go to a transmog person and pay them to set up the gear look that way. With FFXIV, you'd use prisms instead. It's just a difference in approach and I think it would be a nice way of doing it.

Why it was ever set at or left at level 50 to unlock really makes no sense to me.

Because, as of ARR, Glamour is the *true* end-game. Which is why you had to be at level cap to enable it of course.

Technically you can now get / ready to unlock it with mog station as well, if you have no class at 50 yet.... i know i know, just putting it out there.

Honestly, your focus should be on leveling, not fashion when your changing your gear with every other dungeon run and quest reward.
If you really want to waste the gil glamouring every time you get a new chest piece, just open a trade window and give me your gil, i'll put it to better use.

See while technically you're right, the whole process of immersing yourself in the game world while leveling can be so much more enjoyable when you aren't cringing at many of the armor models. Casters especially are stuck in a parade of poofy potato sacks most of the time with only a few occasions of reprieve. Heck many people would be happy just looking like they are wearing their level 1 starter gear most of the time while leveling instead of someone the horrendous things they end up putting us in until we can finally glamour the pain away.

It's that which makes acquiring the Colosseum gear and the artifact and myth gear so enjoyable, finally you have gear that looks good. Until that time you have to get creative with what is given. Also the lack of glamour at those levels provides an incentive to obtain dungeon gear since it looks so much better than regular vendor gear does.

This is such an archaic attitude. People would still level. People would still do dungeons. I never felt any kind of satisfaction like you mentioned when I got my first artifact gear back in ARR. Why does it matter to other people if someone decides to costume over their leveling gear? With an argument like yours, it may as well be locked to level 70 now, which would be equally ridiculous.

You never spent time during ARR farming specific gear for it's look? Well, I know a lot of people that did exactly that, and they were very satisfied once they got all the pieces they wanted. I don't believe that my attitude is archaic, I think it's different from yours though. I see the game as something to be played, not simply as a means to an end, a leveling chore that must be done to hit 70 or whatever. Each to their own, if you want to call my view archaic, I'll call yours business-like.

The thing is... sure when you're leveling and get that coliseum outfit it's great... until you out level it and back in a poofy potato sack again

Sometimes you find a look you love... and giving it up because the potato sack has better stats hurts. When I first started playing, I found unlocking glamour a breath of fresh air. Finally I could stop wearing these ugly things and look the way I WANT to look. And you know what my first glamoured outfit was? My level 1 starter gear because I loved the way it looked so much. Having to wait 50 levels until you can stop looking like a hobo kinda hurts the whole leveling experience... at least for me it did.

Level 1s can run their way there. This argument doesn't really hold up.

It's not even remotely difficult to do either, unlike the infamous "Jeuno runs" of FFXI era.

Lol those runs were only ever hard when yu took short cuts. If you stayed on the beaten path or roads it was a piece of cake..

On topic though they could lower the quest level to at least give players the option..

I've often felt it's the other restrictions that need scrapping like the I level and job restrictions (at the very least on headgear)

So OP is asking for easy and immediate access to what is essentially a reward for players who reach a milestone in the game?

Everyone wants something these days, they're just less inclined to work for it apparently...
