Dear Devs, please consider going to an Account-wide "Unlock" system for Glamour

[kyuven]

I'd just like to point out the only games I know of that allow account-wide glamour-style unlocks that i know of (GW2, DCUO, CO, STO) had them from the word "go" and were designed with them in mind. They also make use of megaservers rather than separate world-servers.
There HAS to be a reason for this.

I totally agree with this idea, but I don't see it being implemented. When it comes to ideas SE is really stubborn and doesn't take it most of the time unless a LARGE amount of people agree. Also I have to say this is the first game I have come across with so many server problems and if they leave it like this it will have so many problems in the future. People keep giving ideas which would make the game better but they would rather spend development time on PvP (This mode shouldn't even be here too be honest). We told them having GC for Frontlines was a bad idea and if people could go with friends it will be better but they didn't listen. I find it funny how often they say its for the fans of the games but most of the suggestions we make never makes any impact. That's just my opinion anyway.

Actually, neither Guild Wars 2 nor The Old Republic, nor even WildStar had their systems implemented at launch. I think it's a standard that has simply changed over time, and I thought FFXIV would greatly benefit from a similar change. And again, sooner is better than later, if possible.

I seem to remember the glamour unlocks being there from launch or VERY soon after, since i didn't play longer than a couple months.
And wildstar DEFINITELY had it.
TOR's a little funky so theirs doesn't really count.

This would also give us all more incentive to hit up those lower level dungeons in order to "max out" our glamor armory too! I would personally farm tons of places just to unlock glamor loot if it doesn't clutter my inventory anymore. That is excellent news for noobs.

Exactly! It actually gives even more incentive to play more, giving people more stuff to do. Aside from maybe making the Glamour system a little more user-friendly, I think pretty much everyone would enjoy such a change!

Great idea, would be nice to have this in game and would create more incentive to farm vanity pieces as they are added to the game rather than when you need them specifically.

Also, just throwing this out there; it would be nice if you could Glamor the armor *SLOT*, instead of the individual piece of armor. For one, I should think that would be more data-efficient anyways, plus it would be Godsend for leveling up new Characters or Classes/Jobs, so that your appearance remains, even when changing armor.

For example, I really dig the new Au Ra racial clothes. I'd rather level up using that (or the Armor of Light set), instead of having to wait until high level to bother Glamour'ing anything.
