Hopes for the 4.2 Glamour System Revisions

[SokiYagami]

I gotcha and yes, perfectly valid example.Though I'd say that the situations in which this would be a huge disadvantage would be minimal since people really don't seem to like current tiers looks anyway and havent since AF.

I disagree. Sure, majority of the players may not be in favor of the current design but this doesn't mean the minority who do should be simply screwed over when designing a new system because of it. This argument of yours is close to those who frown on the resources spent on ultimate coil simply because there's only a minority of players who will partake it and even lesser who can clear it.

I see this as the toe in the water for a further expansion. Now whether it's worth losing functionality of the item over the freedom to vary our appearance is something that will need to be discussed once we know the actual limitations of the system. If we CAN retrieve items I'm pretty sure they will be stripped of all flags and variables like soulbind, creator and special stats (e.g. relic set through quests).

however in the end we haven't gotten more than 2 paragraphs about what it is, so lets hold off till we get our taste of it... is what I'm encouraging.

Or they could you know, don't put the actual gear in at the first place? I believe there should be the option to simply copy the skin via registering the appearance of the gear, then let the players decide what to do with the gear themselves. If inventory space is that big an issue, the players will simply dispose of it after registering. If they threw away something they shouldn't then that is on them. Of course, this boils down to the back-end code and restriction that we have no idea of so I'll stop this topic here before falling into the armchair developer argument.

I agree with you that some of us might be over-reacting now but I'll also like to point out that there is a chance that once this system arrive it might be set in stone. SE has precedent cases of both changing and sticking to their views before so I think it's reasonable to say that some of the voices of concern mentioned here, myself included, is not without a valid cause.
