A selection of ideas

I would be opposed to offline gathering. In fact, I'm also opposed to offline market boarding. You should be online to play an online game. Although in a sense, the retainer ventures is a form of offline gathering.

I would definitely love more size options for apartments. For example a penthouse option that has a second floor, and a townhouse option that has more verticality, etc.

As for glamour, I'm really mostly discontent about the problem of glamouring job gear to role gear. A job-plate may look like the solution, but it is still tying the appearance to pieces of gear. What we really need is to completely do away with the concept of transforming the look of individual pieces of gear; instead, the system should have been, in the first place, "wearing" the plates.

For those who are confused by my bad articulation (sorry it's been a long week of little sleep), here's an example:

1. Have glamour plates as usual.
2. Instead of applying plates to what you're equipped, you actually have another gear slot on you that is used to equip one glamour plate.
3. When the game needs to display your character model, it reads the glamour plate and displays it, applying all the same restrictions on class/job as we currently have.

This way I can have my PLD+GNB+WAR all wearing tomestone role gear, but each equipping a different glamour plate that makes them look different, including the weapon and shield slot.

It's not an exact solution, but theres a current workaround to this; you can assign a glamour plate to a gear set. So in your example, say you have PLD, GNB and WAR all level 80, all with tome gear. You make three glamour plates for them, using plates 1 2 and 3. You can assign plate 1 to PLD, plate 2 to GNB, and plate 3 to WAR. Then whenever you switch to that gearset, it will auto apply the glamour to the items.

The downside to this current system is that if you change jobs outside of a main city, the glamour will not apply, since plates can only be applied in main cities. Another drawback is that you can't have the actual tome gear visible for one of the jobs, if you want. (there's a workaround for that as well though, put the tome pieces in the dresser and save them to a gearset, then remove them from the dresser and equip them.. the plate will remain saved regardless of if the items are still in the dresser. But that's taking up a glamour plate slot in order to glamour the items own appearance onto itself.. which isnt ideal.)

Anyway I think you do this in the submenu for the gearsets. It's a little clunky but for the time being its better than nothing :|

main city

Yeah I've tried that before, which is why I don't use it, because half the time I'm changing jobs outside of main cities.
