The entire glamour system is a mess

[MistakeNot]

I agree the wow system is by far the best
However I think there's a reason they have so much trouble with inventory space and whatnot, (which is odd considering most player have 1 character).
I wonder how they codes that but it seems to be both troublesome to change and terribly in effective when it comes to data processing between server and client

From what I understand they sync your entire inventory with the server every few seconds - even if you are just walking around with the inventory closed.
This means that any increase in inventory space will result in increased server load.

Do not ask me why it was been coded like this. To me it sounds horribly inefficient.
Apparently one of the many problems inherited from 1.0

You understand incorrectly. The game retrieves your inventory from the server every time you enter a zone. I know this because I once had an soul crystal "disappear" from my local inventory when swapping between two gear sets too quickly. I was able to restore my inventory by simply teleporting back into the same zone I was in.

That's a weird one.

I think what they were saying though is the game sends your entire character dataset to the server every 15 seconds or so. And they said this because SE said this a few years ago when they were inventing excuses for not increasing inventory sizes.
