I also only recommend only keeping rare crafting materials, as it's easy to gather most of them needed for pretty much anything within a few minutes.

As for glamour, unless you keep 1 of every piece of gear, it's not too bad. Just pick the ones you are most likely to use for glamour, junk the rest.

Hoarding can't be fixed with inventory updates.
Obviously to each their own, but what some people would call hoarding, I would consider being efficient. I personally despise having to go farm 4-5 random materials before I can craft something simply because I didn't have space to store the materials I had previously gathered. If I'm on a crafting spree? That may involve many, many items...and I'd much rather have the materials already waiting vs. having to spend a good chunk of time farming before I can get my actual crafting done.

As far as armor collection goes, glamour is huge for a lot of people. There are a lot of very unique pieces scattered about through raids, dungeons, and elsewhere. Outside of storage woes, it makes no sense to drop it only to have to farm it again when you want to use it in a glamour. Depending on what content the gear is actually from, that could be quite the challenge and a waste of time.

It does tend to annoy me a bit when people defend the system by claiming those that have issues with it are just hoarders. That is pushing the blame for a shoddy management system onto the player.

For an example of a game that does it right - GW2 . In that game, all crafting materials fit in their own special material bank. Any armor you find can be saved as a skin and then discarded if you no longer need the actual gear in your inventory.
