Playing an expansion as current content has been a lacklustre MMO experience

Glamours instantly made usable account-wide upon looting.

..that cant be dyed with WOW's system

Can see in-game where every glamour can be acquired, including even from which bosses, quests, events, etc.

Do you have ANY idea how big that database would be?

GW2 has a lot of those points with a better dye system than FF14...

Those are merely a combination of pinterest and a database. I suspect you know full well what's being referred to by "glamour catalog", given the earlier contexts.

If not:

• Glamours instantly made usable account-wide upon looting.
• No limits on how many glamours you can get/hold.
• No need for consumable items to equip or remove glamours.
• Can observe and try on all glamours, collected and yet to be collected, from anywhere in the world and at any time just via a basic menu pane alike to Actions and Traits -- with zero need to visit an inn, let alone a specific interactable therein.
• Emperor's New ----- items / hidden slots are automatically available options.
• Can see in-game where every glamour can be acquired, including even from which bosses, quests, events, etc.

Nothing about the advantages above precludes dyeing items. An MMO can have both.

Note that not every XIV item is dyable, either, if only to get us to go out and farm recolors of those past items or to splurge on the-exact-same-skin-but-now-dyable. The restriction is separate and arbitrary.

Smaller than WoW's in-game appearances collection pane, which manages it without any perceptible costs.
