I feel like the problem with glamour plates is that they don't fulfill their intended purpose well. This is the absolute worst possible solution they could have come up with for the problem of wanting to be able to have separate glamours for the same gear for different jobs. Hands down, the worst. Not doing anything would have been better than this. That being said, it's a decent step for making glamours themselves slightly less obnoxious. THAT being said I think it's a step in the completely wrong direction.

There's a meme that has been floating around for awhile about not being afraid to correct a mistake just because you spent a long time making it, and I think it's something this dev team really needs to take to heart. They seem so unwilling to look back at absolutely terrible ideas they've implemented in the past and remove them. Either letting them rot or somehow trying to ducttape them into not being so bad.

So in the remote chance that the Dev team would actually ever see this; Glamour Plates are NOT an adequate answer to the playerbase's desire to have different glamour sets based on which job they are playing. Nothing you do to the current glamour system will allow for an adequate solution to that problem. Glamour needs a fundamental change to the way it works before you will find an adequate solution to this problem.
