    The only issue is, could the system handle it? Generally we can only glamour items of the same type - headgear into other headgear and so on. Could they make the belt slot accept other items from other categories, it would they have to make a second version of every pair of glasses in the game that are classified as waist items?
    unlikely, the way SE speaks, a sneeze can make the servers crash.

    It's not so much the servers I was thinking, just the way the glamour system handles their categories of items. Select "cast glamour" on your hat, and it will only give you a list of headgear as options. Therefore if you could cast a glamour on your belt, it would probably only give you the option of items categorised as belts.

    Therefore, it seems likely to me that if they did implement a "belt slot as general glamour" they would have to recategorise or recreate items from other categories to exist in the system as "belts" (even though they appear as other items entirely) just so the glamour system could detect them as options for that slot.

    It would take a lot more effort then you think, because belts DO exist in this game as is. (like my last post explained) it was a 1.0 >2.0 change and from what i know thus far, SE never touched core coding changes like that. Basically you have to remove all the belts in the game that are attached to shirts and be replaced by this predetermined list.

    For the other things like glasses + hat etc, it is something I like to see, but I joked with your final line. SE states a lot "server limitations" so I said way SE acts it is unlikely the servers could not handle it because they act like a sneeze will overload them.
