So glamour plates are dumber than anticipated...

man really? the glamour system isn't as flexible as some would like it to be and you're gonna say it's being outperformed by games from the late 90's? Everquest wishes it looked this good.

performance is not the same as graphics.

I still stand by what I say. the glamour system in ff14 is pretty good. not only is it good, they made it even more efficient with this patch by eliminating the need for specific glamour prisms. with glamour plates I can use a glamour prism on a piece of armor once and can apply it as many times as I want, that's not only more efficient, but economical. sure I'm probably not gonna put rare loot in the dresser, but the old system is still in place, and it's not like glamour pieces have much use outside the dresser anyway.

the glamour dresser and plates aren't what I wanted them to be, but I'm not gonna say SE failed just because they didn't meet my specific expectations.

It has NOTHING to do with meeting expectations. It fails atm because it fails, it is a pre-alpha state, something I expect to see in 1.0 or 2.0, not 3.0 +. This is the result when you are not getting an AAA game funded properly. It is hardly functional, all these limitations? those exists because it is pre-alpha, showing its dated, not a full release idea in the second expansion. It should be way more refined this point.

Heck its own game, ffxi, has more refined glam system and inventory management then this one does.

pre-alpha? I don't think you understand what pre-alpha means. the system works as intended, it just doesn't live up to people's expectations. and again the old glamour system is not only still in place, but was improved with this patch.

it's also not fair to compare this to ff11 either considering that game has been out for over 15 years and probably runs on a very different engine.
