    Honestly, feel free to keep complaining about whatever you find inadequate. But to say that they are malicious in withholding some things or another is folly. It's a question of priorities, and it's okay to question the developers' priorities.

    For whatever reason this dev team chose to create the glamour dresser instead of a proper glamour log. But the question is a manner of time. Yes code is malleable, but code is also fragile, particularly in ever evolving systems like, say, an MMO. It all depends on how long we will be willing to wait, or if we accept less updates elsewhere. We have been asked to accept less dungeons per patch, so some more compromises wouldn't hurt... Right? Doubtful.

    At the end of the day the devs have not actually been completely transparent, which is a pain. If a live letter opens up again I might ask a question regarding some inner workings of things... and watch it not get chosen, haha. But I'd rather have a clearer picture of what the devs consider important, more than anything else.

    No the current system is as awful as we make it out to be. Because a full inventory negatively affect the rest of our interaction with the game.

    "What do i need to toss away today" Should never be a thing that crosses a players mind every time they boot up the game. Especially not when a lot of it is obtained only through randomness.

    It would help massively to have a concrete reason to why they are having issues to implement a log. As some have mentioned in a previous thread, items to be glammed has to exist as objects. But then this game have made it apparent that it can generate and delete items on a whim so it shouldn't be impossible to, to say have the glamour log check for unlocked item in a table -> Generate game item -> put it in an invisible/inaccessible inventory slot and delete whatever old item was placed there -> apply it as glamour.
