Idea: Glamour Catalog

[Canadane]

The day you throw out that Foestrikers Tabard is going to be the same day you realize what a cool looking piece it was and off you go and help out some newbies in Sastasha a couple times. In some cases I'm sure they'd certainly appreciate the guidance or just a shorter queue to get in.

If there was zero reason to ever do an old dungeon again the queue times would be drastically lengthened, and for DPS queues it's already a fair stretch of time. Time and time I see this idea pop up and every time I repeat the same response. You gotta stop thinking of your own glamours for a moment and instead think about the game as a whole.

You seriously think players just delete gear and constantly rerun old dungeons and if that got taken away the queue times would be longer? You really think this happens on a daily basis and is a major factor for keeping queue times lower?

As someone already replied to you with something similar to what I was going to say, I'll just add something else.

Unsync and undersized... if I am going to go back to ANY dungeon from ARR, for glamour specifically, then I am not going through DF, and literally everyone I know isn't either... and I can bet most (yes, most, not all) other people would do the same. Whether it's solo or just with one other, if they're really craving that one dungeon drop from an ARR dungeon, for glamour, then this is how they get it nowadays.

You no longer have to repeat "time and time again" that response now. Grats.

Also, signed, add please.

At least you actually took away my point successfully.
However glamour options exist within places you cannot go undersized, to which you'll need to run with a party. The tabard example was just the first item that came to mind as I was making the post.

The catalouge would actually have a positive influence on that.
You need to run content many times to get all the items you want, especially if 7 other people are rolling on it (heck, it took me 2 full years to finally get the lvl 15 dps body despite hundreds and hundreds of runs).
So you'd have people doing content again they ignore now, like Crystal Tower. To anyone who still wants to clear that content, it is helpful if others are trying to fill up their catalouge. And even if some people don't come back because they filled up their catalouge completely (which, like I said, would likely take years with everyone else also rolling on items!), the situation wouldn't be different from now where people only revisit old content if they get anything special for it (exp, tomes, etc.).

And them specific places aren't getting queue pops, if you're referring to the CT, ST and WoD raids, as of right now what little pops they do get are all that are actually wanting to do them still.

Everything else can be undersized, unsync or solo managed, aside from Coil's case in which it's PF centric. What remains from the previous mentions is what keeps that stuff active, and that is... people leveling their classes.

So again, next to nobody is running content for glamours via DF.

This data limit is pretty lame for a game in 2015.
If the PS3 is the problem, don't implement it there.
I can't understand the problem really, sounds more like a lame excuse.

I'm simple man, every time I see glamour thread, I pressed like.

Not sure how its a data size problem as even if there were 1000+ pieces it's simply a 1/0 own or don't own and whatever other attributes you wish to add. Few kilobytes it seems to me, unless I am missing something. I'm not a programmer though.

At any rate, this is needed. I especially agree with the image examples a few posts down.
