Things people asked for that are being addressed:
Inventory space
different outfits for the same gear on different jobs.
Ease of use (I will argue this is much easier than finding my glamour item and getting a prism every time I upgrade any slot)
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it needed to be fun. Not that it's not a valid concern, just I'd not heard that asked for.
Nobody knows why this is the particular direction was taken, which is a little frustrating. But it's a start in a direction I can see actually working very well once developed and tested. Someday we might find we have a glamour catalogue of 700+ slots and 30 outfits... for now we have 200 and 10. I'm Ok with this as a start, but only if it's a start and not a final solution.
