    Okay, side note: I WOULD REALLY LOVE A FISHING TACKLE BOX so I didn't have to figure out where the hell I put that one bait I need for that one thing I need to catch. (Or, if I'm being honest, so I didn't just keep re-buying the ocean fishing bait because I realize I left it in my chocobo saddlebag as we're sailing into the first stop.)

    Granted, this is a lot less pressing since the introduction of the versatile lure, but still.

    I think the real issue with glamour dresser is if you have something you wanted to use for a glam at one point, and then don't have an immediate need for. If it took a long time to grind (say, Eurekan elemental armor +2), do I throw it out and go for it again? Or do I leave it in the glamour dresser eating up a spot even if I'm not using it now, since I might want it later?

    Because I will admit I've thrown out gear I no longer needed, only to later realize that I came up with a perfect glam to use it for. This always gives me Large Sadness when I have to go, say, run an alliance raid however many times to get the same piece again. (On the plus side, I know Orbonne Monastery very well now...)

    Even beyond that, there are non-glamour considerations. Like, take outdated raid weapons. I've got that Edengrace cane, but I don't want it for glam (because it's ugly, in my opinion). On the other hand, it's my BiS for TEA. I want to do TEA someday; should I stuff that weapon into a retainer and hold on to it, or should I trash it and then go run E4S a bunch of times to get it again when I am going to run TEA?

    Add to that the fact that they are continually introducing new seasonal glamour, glamour you pay actual money for in the cash shop, etc. At that point, even without hoarding real actual stats-bearing gear, the glamour dresser can start getting a bit pinched for space.

    Even worse, we have... what, seventeen combat jobs (18 if you count Blue Mage), not to mention crafters/gatherers, and only fifteen glamour plates, meaning glamour fiends aren't able to make one distinct appearance for every job, much less have more than one.

    So inventory management aside, I think you can make a solid argument for the glamour dresser being expanded, or at the very least having more glamour plates added.

    Actually, you can do this part currently. Much like gaining extra inventory space, you can pick up extra retainers to sell things on the market by adding a monthly fee onto the subscription; each retainer has their own market sales limit, so each retainer gives you another set of market slots.

    The (inconvenient) alternative to picking up those extra retainers is unfortunately much the same as inventory and glamour management: just be judicious in what you're picking, and dispose of the rest. Namely, only list the things you believe are likely to sell at a profit, while selling everything else to NPC vendors.
