Unless you have a lot of armoire items, you're not going to use glamour plates much if you have any classes you intend to play that are still very low level, especially if they share gear with a higher level class.
The system remains needlessly restrictive. We have twenty six jobs yet only ten plates. As someone who rotates through jobs frequently, I simply can't use it on even half. I opted to finally get all the crafting AF gear, but that left me with just two slots for anything else. I would use them for MIN/BTN. Unfortunately, yet another restriction—in the form of requiring you to be in a city-state—makes that cumbersome.

There just isn't a good excuse for limitations like this when nearly every other MMOs offers a better system, including ones several years older than FFXIV.
