Honestly that would be alleviated by frequent updates from the individual devs leading such projects. Or what other games do: test worlds. "Hey guys here's what we're working on for the glamour system! *images or videos of new system being developed* We want your feedback through the process so we'll be adding this to the test realm for players to try out while we refine it and shoot for releasing it in an upcoming patch! We want to make it as easy to use and helpful as possible so we won't be rushing it out until it's ready. Please look forward to it!"
