Increase glamour plate limit.

[Callinon]

Yeah, I'd like to see them increase max glamour items to something like 500. Wouldn't mind another tab or two of plates either (1 or 2 extra sets of 10 glamour plates).

At a bare minimum there should be enough plates to cover every job/class in the game, and glamour plates should be attachable to gear sets (without wacky macro shenanigans).

You can do this since patch 4.3

Glamour plates can now be linked to gear sets.
Select a gear set and use the Link to Glamour Plate subcommand to choose a plate.

While I agree that the system needs expansion, we've been told again and again WHY they can't just open it up. Every time we get a few slots it puts a certain amount of traffic and load onto the item servers. If they just opened it up and said lets just let them go till they break it, it'd kill everyones game. I'm also all for an overhaul but I have my doubts as to players actual willingness to wait for new content while the limited resources of the FFXIV team gets devoted to redoing such a core component of the game.

Add this to the list of odd things FFXIV can't do that every other MMORPG can...

If other games have no such limit at all then it's possible to do, this is purely due to their inadequacy on the server/coding side which can be resolved. That's just to keep it simple, if the stress put on the servers is more then the solution is obvious.

Provide excuses for SE if you want to, it's harder for blizzard to work with a game from 2005 with ancient code than the reverse.

It's irrelevant now though because there are only enough glamour plates to cover roles, not classes/jobs.

So if I want, say, BLM, SMN, and RDM to use different glamours, I can't do that without sacrificing one of my other roles' ability to glamour at all.

There are 10 slots for plates right now:
1: Crafting
2: Gathering
3: Striking
4: Maiming
5: Scouting
6: Aiming
7: Casting
8: Healing
9: Tanking

And then one left over as a flex plate for the fashion report.

And like I said, this isn't WoW and what Blizzard may have done cannot be so easily replicated by SE, .

Can't be too hard since WoW's system isn't the first nor the best nor are they the first or last to add or overhaul existing systems.

There should be at least one per Job/class (27, soon 29), preferably one per gear set (40ish?)

Or flesh out the glamour system to be more like WoW's transmog system. Say what you will about WoW but the one thing they did right is how their cosmetic system works. Every item you obtain is added to an appearance library and unlocked for the entire account.

I've never played WoW, but that sounds a lot like GW2's system. All gear can be saved to their wardrobe system, without the need to actually keep the physical item. It's absolutely amazing, and my dream for this game.

I'd be quite busy for a long time farming up all the dungeon/raid/seals gear that I've passed on due to storage limitations.

One per gear set would make sense. Then expanded automatically every time a gear set is added.

Really it's just that 10 was a laughably small number to leave it at.

Blizzard really went above and beyond with their transmog system, but with FFXIV's inventory structure as bad as it is I can't imagine SE ever matching it...

We could definitely get more glamour storage and plates though, which isn't the system overhaul glamours (and inventories in general) deserve but it'd at least be a bandaid.

Not really, It took a few overhauls to be what it is now and it's still not as good as others.
