Glamour System Projection/Skin-System

[Shougun]

Yep... I found the quote too. And the article, other thread helped me find it

USgamer: Has there been any thought about ways to make older gear usable to players in some fashion, outside of glamour? Things are always moving forward, leaving players with reams of gear in their banks for glamour sets alone.

Yoshida: Not really. If we were to do something like that in order to accommodate for older gear, people might go back to older content. Content that they had played over and over again, just so that they could obtain gear was the dropped in those areas. We want to avoid having people going back to older content.

Ahaha, yeah there was another thread where we discus that because it felt like it wasn't understood, translated, or said properly because it's really a "Waaaaat?" moment.

My personal guess is that he meant to say at this moment with all the new content and drive to get everyone to play the /expansion/ content that he doesn't want to encourage people to play old content - yet. It's not that he never sees value in it but at this moment they want people to enjoy the expansion specifically, because of course that'd also mean more money to SE :P. This then means that a log would not be raised in priority at all until the expansion has had time to settle a little.

People may suggest the log is an expansion exclusive feature, and that may work, but I'm unsure how people would react to that. It might feel like if they had said "we're going to rebalance Paladin now, but only for the owners of the expansion any one else will be using the old Paladin which will be less desirable after our changes, please look forward to it!". So I imagine the glamour log would have to be a non-expansion specific content, which means it won't specifically promote the expansion and will promote doing old content more than new, because new content would already have a reason to do (story/progression, old content lost reasons but you just gave it new ones).

Anyway, that's my attempt to make sense of the non-sense xD.
