Wardrobe-System. What do you think?

those jiggle, i like!

Its unbelievable that an mmo at this day and age doesnt have this feature. Especially this game where so many rewards are just for glamour.

I was very surprised and disappointed to find this game has no wardrobe system. Every game I've played, including f2p, has had an extensive wardrobe system. If everyone else can offer it, I'm skeptical of any excuses they offer up here. Honestly, this is one of the few issues I have with this game that would keep me from recommending it to anyone.

I'm guessing from your response you have no server based technical knowledge and just because F2P (that will only last a year or 2) can do it with their back end doesn't mean that FFXIV can do it. while i don't know how FFXIV back end looks like it does sound like a back end issue which was converted from the mess that was 1.0

... and just because F2P (that will only last a year or 2) can do it with their back end doesn't mean that FFXIV can do it.

Sure they can. It's really more of an issue of whether or not they can afford to devote resources to such a feature, while managing other priorities. Even with limited resources, a solution is always possible, including partial and/or indirect solutions. I highly doubt that hypothetical speculated server issues are what's causing this, and many other requested improvements, to be implemented to the game.

Now what is neither a hypothetical nor a speculated issue is that inventory in this game is a problem (for many different players, for many different reasons). Sure there's the the option of buying retainers, but the retainer interface is an entirely separate batch of issues that also needs to be fixed.

I would think it would be in best interest of all involved (from the players, to the developers, to the ones in charge of the money) to get this issue sorted out sooner rather than later. I can't imagine it ending well if we don't get some manner of inventory related solution by the next expansion. If that ends up being the case, I'll be sure to have my popcorn at the ready.

This really seems like a handy system. And seeing as how they are not increasing the inventory space either(insert mogstation ad here), there's no reason not to keep suggesting some measure to cut down on inventory and glamour woes. Because this system from BnS looks very lovely and plenty of other games have made it easier to do.

only one problem with your point from the servers point of view:-

More inventory space or the "Glamour wardrobe" will still take inventory space which SE have gone on record in a live letter is not possible at this time due to technical issue

would you rather have:-

a) more inventory and have it take 2 mins to load into each zone
or
b) have the current level of inventory and the current short load times into each zones for SE to find an optimization in the future to give us more space

[AeraLure]

I would probably rather have a slightly longer zone load time and/or longer space between saves. Every 15 seconds seems too often. I'd think a minute would be fine. Slightly higher risk, sure, but I've never hard crashed. Reason being the current glamour/inventory system is way, way worse imho than slightly increasing those times. The system is so bad. There's too much to glamour (and it's the main reward), too little inventory space given all the jobs and crafting, and it's too clunky to manage. I also don't buy the argument that the actual file being sent back and forth couldn't be better optimized.

[Aethaeryn]

I probably wouldn't want to lose (at least) half a million dollars a month on retainer rentals either, so I'm not really surprised they're refusing to put one in.

would hurt market and dungeon runs

But what i want is something like a catalogue, where every dungeon gear, that you once owned, is listed to try on (also with info where it drop).
Something like the fishing log, but with gear.

The reason for this is that it is no problem to try on crafted gear without owning that gear (thanks to crafting log and market board). But to try on dungeon gears that you don't own, you have to examine other players or have to wait until it drop.
