My crafters are all fresh 50s and I haven't picked up on the artisan set yet, so they have a unique look in their AF and I wish I could keep it that way. My WHM and SCH have two sets of the same gear and melds so I could give them each their own unique look. My BTN and MIN also have two sets of the same gear and melds. This is my issue, and I wish we could have glamour sets similar to gear sets that we just select or macro on a change, and done. Doing things this way with non-unique gear sets seriously eats up your armory space. We should be able to level multiple classes as SE encourages, without such headaches. I get that we can purchase retainers, but the headache also comes from managing all that inventory.

With my crafters, and where I think your issue comes into play is the artisan gear is unique, so I can only own one set; forcing the glam I choose onto each crafter. However, I think the glamour set option, if they can do it would solve both problems with the glam system. But I think the multiple glam sets on a single piece of equipment might be what will give the devs trouble.
