    A brand new player probably isn't even going to be aware that the glamour system even exists until the Mor Donuts quest slaps them in the face with it.

    Not only is your gear replacement rate horrendously fast, especially with how fast the MSQs blow you through levels now, but a proper new character isn't going to have anything worth a damn to glamour into anyways.

    The only thing i would agree with is perhaps a slacking of DoH/L ilvl glamouring restrictions. That is to say, if the Glamour target is the same level (or higher) to equip as the piece you want to make it look like then you should be able to glamour it.
    Basically, remove the Item Level restriction but keep the Equip Level restriction for DoH/DoL gear *only*. So long as you can equip it, You should be able to glamour over it, ilvl be damned.

    I knew the very first day I played. I was just PO'd I had to get 50 at the time to get it. When I got there at 30 exploring. Friends told me the first day however, I won't play an MMO without a Appearance or Glamour system is why.

    That's not true. A lot of the low level equipment is really good looking. (I glamour my level 50 bard in level 25 gear because it's the best look I've seen through the whole game.) Low level equipment (especially for DoW) seems to alternate between really nice looking pieces and really ugly pieces. When at one of the ugly levels, you have to settle for wearing ugly gear in dungeons and lower stat gear the rest of the time. Glamour would be a much better solution.

    And you only replace gear fast if you're leveling fast. Not everyone likes to level fast. It took me about a year to hit 50, and even at that I was rushing a bit at the end (because of wanting to unlock both glamour and housing). I think I've been swapping out gear faster since hitting 50 than I did while leveling up.
