    What we got was a trickled-through number of NPCs whom we max out with long before the next is introduced, easy-ish scrips per week (not a complaint on this point), one-time reward options per rank-up that are more like quest rewards than choosing according to a completed log each week, and the only variety really being us asking which two NPCs offer more this time right after reset.

    So, you know, it is what it is, like so much else in this game. *shrugs*
    So I'm not the only one who remembers seeing that said. It's a real shame that CDs came out this way..

    They also said that the NPC would start to wear the things we craft for them yet this has just turned into another squadron glamour option. (I still find it really weird how those NPCs allow us to glamour them in many weird ways..one of the reason why I never touched the glamour option. I just feel bad about this)

    I agree with your points too. Would have been nice to have many different NPCs for different classes with different tasks and no weekly restriction on top of that. (Or maybe just a restriction like "three tasks per week with each single character) Because thanks to their restriction, one NPC will always never get something and this will only get worse later.

    So I really hope that they will change that system later otherwise its truly just a one time per week for x minutes deal.

    (I have the same problem with the rebuilding of the doman enclave too. The concept sounds great, but the end product in the game is kinda boring, since you only go there and give them some leftovers..)

Then Zhloe they didn't even bother with a reason, she's just automatically fine with it out of the blue if you pull swimwear out of your pocket and tell her to try it on. Whatever floats peoples boats tho.

    This is exactly how I feel about the whole glamour thing. I was completely okay with Kurenai because she had a specific reason to want to wear clothes from outside. That was her special feature. That was what made her unique. But then the devs come and make the dress-up feature for Zhloe now too and it's like... I know Zhloe's a bit of a weirdo and all but there was never anything to suggest she'd allow someone to clothe her(or unclothe her, lets be honest that's the most likely). What reason does she have to let you do that? Why does she let you do that?

    I hate this because it makes the delivery NPCs seem much more like blank slate that are all the same rather than characters with unique personalities. You're right Alleo. They're just Squadron members now. Especially since there's no limit to what they will be okay with wearing. That's the important part right there. Since they don't have feelings or personalities at all, they can't not be okay with any and everything. That destroys any interest in the character.

    It's going to be really silly seeing M'naago with the feature next. .
