Theoretically, would making Glam Dressers & etc account based lighten the load?

there's a separate database for account wide items which is almost full, so probably not. yoshi referenced it a few years ago on a live letter Q/A about why so few mogstation items are account bound.

I've heard this too and if it's true dear lord we need a database rehaul.

I mean we definitely need one anyway, the way character data in this game works is Lovecraftian.

I'd like everything from mogstation to be account bound except for fantasia, dyes, boosts, eternal bonding.

Easiest way to resolve the issue? Rewrite the game entirely. How many patch cycles/expansions would you be willing to forgo in order to get that done?

Speaking for myself I'd drop a few patch cycles for an engine overhaul. It wouldn't be fun but I worry that the game cannot be sustained indefinitely on the engine and database we currently have.
