    I also want an improvement on the current system, but I'm so tired of WoW this, WoW that... instead of mentioning other games' systems, come up with something more creative.
    But WoW has a good system for it. We don't need the wheel reinvented if the wheel does exactly what we're after, and quite frankly it feels like some of the features we get are prototypes that we're told are going to get fleshed out and then all they do is give duct tape solutions to them (ie: instead of improving the system, just tack on more slots). Personally I want a better system. WoW's is convenient, easy to use, account wide and provides another collectable that gives even more reason to do old content. In addition Yoshi's a fan of Blizzard's work, so referencing a game he's likely familiar with isn't hurting the situation. We're not trying to make this WoW, but there are features it has that would benefit this game.

    You have to remember that when 2.0 released, it was done in under 2 years of dev time, on top of code that was a mess, with the need to keep legacy character still compatible. Glamour wasn't even I troduced until 2.1 or 2.2 months later.

    I do t think wow even had the wardrobe or w/e it's called until 2015? 2 years later I think. The devs didn't even have it on their radar until recently.

    It's good, maybe even great compared to most MMOs (certainly compared to this one), but not perfect.

    Personally, I still favor to-slot glamours over to-gear glamour, so that I needn't replace it every time I get an upgrade. It'd just be bound to, say, Warrior-Chest_slot instead of, say, Voeburtite Jacket of Fending.
