Dear Square Enix: Please Remove the Glamour Dresser Cap

[GrizzlyTank]

There's no such thing as infinite resources, my dude.

However a properly made glamour dresser would take significantly less space than what the current dresser does.

Yoshi-P knew this was going to happen. He said in the most recent LL that he knew we were going to ask for more space and complain that 800 isn't enough. They have to cap the amount of gear in the glamour dresser because that gear is data and data takes up space. 800 slots PER character is a LOT. That is terrabytes' worth of data.

lolwhat, were talking compressed data linked to character files, thats like 200kb maximum, what they were worried about was loading times when opening the dresser, the systems inbetween that link character data to dresser are innefficient and cant handle it.

I doubt, that 800 items will take more than a few kilobytes in a database for a character.

I don't know why you guys even hoarding the accessories... Meanwhile my armoury is enough for accessories i want, also I have my own retainer to store the weapons for all jobs...

you should not need to buy more retainers to store weapons and gear.
the glamour dresser should be able to store everything.

It shouldn't, but we've seen on multiple occasions that they have massive problems expanding the glamour dresser, the armoire or our inventory. So one has to assume that their database was rushed when creating ARR and is incredibly inefficient at this point.

Devs: "Oh, our poor databases have TOO MANY values to deal with! It's dying every time you look in your inventory! Please understand! ;A;"
Also Devs: "Hey, you can buy up to 8 retainers for a monthly fee and each come with a ton of storage! :^)"

It's too tiring to be angry about it anymore, though I do enjoy laughing at situations like this. lol

At this point I'm just looking forward to their next MMORPG with upgraded and better everything. Will a new FF mmo be a thing eventually?

Hopefully, the average "gamur" will flock to the newest toy and hopefully XIV gets the XI treatment and a few years after the move the servers will have a more cozy feeling to the playerbase. Though XI didn't have the backend for a cash shop while XIV has a cash shop intertwined with it. Worst case scenario, after the playerbase moves on the whales will stick around while the devs milk them until the end of service. That would be pretty sad but I can totally see it happening, lol.

Glamour dresser isn't for storage. Stop hording items you'll never glamour and the cap is no longer a problem.
