Glamour log compromise.

Better yet, copy the Transmog system of WoW! You never run out of space there.

If I remember correctly there's a limit to the amount of stuff the calamity salvager can carry (kind of like how theres a backend limit to the armoire, preventing them from just letting us dump more in there).
It's part of why the calamity salvager doesn't even keep track of all our AF gear : (

Which is why they should compress it into coffers instead, at best it would then be 5 sets of gear tied to one item.

Would have definetly prefered that but something something backend issues. Meanwhile they have shown that gear can be tied to achievements, achievements can drop gear and that items (coffers) can generate multiple different pieces of gear. So instead of unf****** the back-end they could instead use what they have readily available.

Anything to combat the never ending inventory issue that isn't just slapping more inventory slots at us...

Yeah, no, that's def true.
And you've thought up a clever workaround to one of our inventory problems.
While it won't hold forever, something like this is efficient enough that I'd love to see an official response to it.

The Transmog system was built for the WoW engine. The current glamour system is NOT that system, and never could be. It's easy to say "do X" without giving a thought to the underlying data structures behind every little detail of a game system.

One might as well say "copy the WoW Raiding system", even though the battle engines are different and doing so would require rewriting the entire game (which Blizzard did, pretty much, with Cataclysm).

Aside from particular sets of gear purchased from specialized vendors for the purpose of faster leveling, much of the WoW transmog system was set up for a single class. Your Horde-side mage doesn't share a Transmog list with your Horde-side Hunter, nor with the Alliance-side mage, for example. There is a single gear type you can wear -- no mail armor for mages, as an example. It's much more restrictive than the FFXIV glamour system ever was.
