Can we get an actual intuitive and modern glam system please?

Have you equipped the item at least once before? If yes, then great! Glam unlocked! Go to your wardrobe to see skins you have unlocked and to use them! Wow! Seriously, what is the hold up here? And don't say server limits, etc. That's hogwash. SE is a AAA video game company, and B-level MMOs have glam systems like this. There is no reason for us not to have a simple and intuitive glam system.

Limitation left overs from the 1.0 spaghetti code.

Pretty much why I've always wanted a new FF XIV and not an 'untangled spaghetti code' version of 1.0 but it seems that everybody in the community doesn't agree with me and prefer to have all the limitations and issues we have now because of this.

Edit: I'm not saying it's impossible to actually do this but because of the original code being so ... bad, it's super hard and massive work for the devs to create certain things or improve upon.
Remember how much work they had to do to increase our bag space in Stormblood and to ensure it wouldn't crash, also the reason why we got chocobo saddlebag band aid that you can't access while in Duties and to reduce server capacity you take with you when you go into duties servers or whatever.

To be fair, that system didn't exist in the games I played until well after xiv launched. Hard to use a modern method when the game was launched when the modern method didn't exist yet.

Sounds like a good idea!

Honestly, I would be happy if next expansion, they do not release much, or take a year off, and re-write a lot of the behind the scene code to get rid of the poorly done old code. I remember when Blizzard do this for WoW, they move a lot of their developers off other projects to get something like that done in a year.

I know SE is really focus on making money and only spending what is needed, but sometimes you need to put a lot in at points to make it easier to push out more with little effort later. They really gotta do away with the old code and get things more like DI/IoC.

They just need to do everything they can to copy and paste WoW's transmog system into this game.

DCUO glam system please, 10 year old game.

I like the glam system that D3 has, but I would also take the same as GW2. I do like how TERA implemented the use of glams. I think GW2 and D3 did this too. You would have a second page for equipping gear and this page. So, no matter what your armor change to, it would keep the look the same and did not need to re-glam.

Now, the difference though is that each character was only allowed 1 job.

Yet for some "magical reason" you can get more saddle space if you decide to pay for an app and for some reason... the server or code has no problems with that... the magic of money is amazing.

But now seriously... the FFXIV team has a very strict timing in order of release new content and probably no time to make a complete new glam system.
But i personally dosen't see any big reasons for a new glamour system as long as SE dosen't start to jump over their own shadow and stop putting job restrictions on the gear (except Artifact gear)...
At least that would open giant possibilities of glamour but no... we are still captured in the job restriction bubble.

I like the current system. Just give me another 400 slots on the glamour toilet and allow me to apply my plates anywhere and I'll be set.
