Glamour dresser red flag

[kikix12]

That's probably how the armoire should work, but I doubt it actually works that way. If it had technically unlimited space they wouldn't be so stingy about letting us put more items in it.

They're not stingy. They are either ignorant, do it for the sake of pushing for retainer purchases as Snat said, or are just doing it this way to make the impression there are technical limitations in case something bigger came up and they needed a good excuse.

How to reference database is taught in the first few classes for programming ANYTHING in ANY language. It is the most basic of basic ways to program anything. I cannot imagine the incompetence one would need to show to NOT be able to imagine that solution. Why?! Because it helps literally everything. Money, time, nerves. It reduces the risk of bugs and simplifies the process of updates. In cases like MMO's it even makes the program less susceptible to unauthorized use, even if ever so slightly, because trying to change an items effect for example (to give oneself better stats) would instantly affect everyone else on the server. As far as noticing a group of players having higher stats is difficult, noticing the entire server running around in stuff that is grossly overpowered is easy as a pie.

At this point, I am going to say that the developers do NOT want to solve the issue, rather, that they create it on purpose...or at least misinform players about there being an actual issue in the first place. Majority of the playerbase will just take them at face value without questioning it, and even those, like me, that will not believe them when they say they couldn't do it like this or like that due to some limitations, will probably still continue paying the subscription simply because in general the game is still fun overall.

Well, when we were upgrading our anima weapons they were all the same item with different stats. Aetherial gear has different stats too.

And items converted into glamours in the glamour dresser appear to have most of their item data stripped from the tooltip.



There's no reason to not just show the normal tooltip unless either item data actually matters or they are trying to trick us into thinking it does.

And if they're just trying to trick us to make us rent more retainers, why give us more inventory at all? Why not have items stored in retainer inventories work with the glamour dresser? Why not make us buy the chocobo backpack instead of giving it away?

I have no doubt marketing has the ad print for premium/additional packs ready for the mogstation after people get used to using it.
