The Glamour Dresser sounded great...but it really isn't...

[HyoMinPark]

but why would you want to take it out? it's not like you'd want to wear it as an actual piece of armor, and if you want to apply it you can just put it on a glamour plate. I mean it's a little annoying but am I missing something here?

Because the space is limited to 200 items. As someone who has all jobs leveled and changes Glamour frequently, this could pose an issue in terms of the limited storage. I have 2 retainers still dedicated to Glamour after putting several items in the Dresser. It's not worth it to me to put an $18 cash shop item in the Dresser if I have zero choice in removing it later to free up space. Thus, I only put things in the Dresser that I won't be bothered if it ever comes down to me having to Destroy the item to free up spaces.

Honestly, all cash shop outfits should be Armoire-storable. That would eliminate this issue entirely since you can access Armoire items through the Dresser without using up any of your 200 slots.

People honestly expected a half decent customization system which was not what was delivered.

I am also annoyed that the Garo items I farmed via PVP only show on the Salvager if you got the title that went with the set, in some cases I just got 1 or 2 pieces and now I will have to go through PVP hell to get them again if I really want them. Any Garo item you bought from the priest should be on the salvager, not only if the title was achieved.

All gears of the Salvager NPC are bound by achievements. They only show up if you have the achievements of them.
And for the Garo gear you only get the achievement if you speak to the NPC wearing the full set (without the accessories).

On the flip side, those who are familiar with SE's usual style of implementation expected a shit show and were not disappointed.

I was really excited for it until I found out when you place items in it they're destroyed outside of the dresser. Combine that fact with the limited storage capacity of the dresser and you run into some problems at some point down the road because Mogstation glamour purchases will be destroyed which is a big no no to me.

Which raises an interesting question.

Why aren't the Salvager items just automatically included in the glamour dresser, like the items stored in the armoire?

Because you buy them with gil, while the items in the armoire are just stored

I agree, the dresser isn't everything I thought it would be. I created 3 different plates for each of my healers to have different outfits, because I thought that was the purpose of the glamour plates, to make it so each job can gave their own unique glamour. Turns out its A LOT more complicated than that. You can only change glamour plates in the city, so that means if I was running around in other zones and wanted to switch between my healers for whatever reason I am stuck with the glamour plate I first used and cannot switch between the glamour plates I made for the specific jobs.

The only thing I like about it is the room i saved in my inventory and retainers with it, and I like how you can incorporate the armoir without taking up your slots. What would really make me happy is if they increase the amount of slots, plates AND make it so you can freely change your plates outside of cities.

Something annoying that I'm glad I noticed before making some mistakes.. I "applied" a glamour plate with a weapon that wasn't dyed to my BIS weapon (dyed general purpose gold) only find out the irreversible losing of dye on original item.. only out 40k.. but still..

True. However, most of the items available at the Salvager are initially acquired, for free, either through achievements or quests (main story or sidequests), which I would assume is the reason why those items are available through the Salvager in the first place. Also, most of the items available at the Salvager would be used for glamour purposes only. I would think, at the very least, that there should be an option to apply those items to glamour plates, without the need to have them take up space in the dresser. The data is already there, I see no reason not to take advantage of it in this way.
