In my opinion, we don't need to start from scratch, this current system (while a little clunky) could work once they refine it a little.

-Making the glamour dresser easier to sort through when depositing items (IE: Having what is it, Shirts Hats and Gloves all in one section makes it harder to find anything quickly to deposit)
-The ability to assign a plate to a gearset (so that changing the gearset will change the glamour plate and you wont have to readjust it every time. Luckily they're working on this already.)
-Making the glamour plate mask over the items instead of applying the glamour to the items. (What i mean by this is.. have it so if you're wearing a set on both your BLM and SMN, applying the plate to your SMN will currently apply the glamour to the items so your BLM would take on the appearance of that plate, even while not having any plates applied. Theres currently no workaround as using a glamour dispeller would take the glam away from both jobs still, requiring the plate to be re-applied so our options are either have a plate for each job, or gather two copies of the set, one to be glammed over and one to not be glammed over..)
-And of course, increase the number of plates we have, giving us at least enough plates for every combat job to have a plate. Ideally giving enough for all DoW and DoH/DoL jobs would be great but at the very least, we need enough to accommodate all the combat jobs.
-Let the items be removed from the glamour dresser, obviously.
-While I understand having to be at the dresser to deposit the items, They should let us adjust our plates on the fly, from anywhere. Give us access to the plates and let us change them around with items in our glamour dresser. Some people change their glamours around often, or switch pieces around. Having to run back to an inn (or hopefully eventually our house) every time we want to change our gloves out with a different pair of gloves is going to be a hassle, and make this system even more frustrating.

I'm sure theres many more, but like I said this system has potential. It's not as good as a glamour log by a longshot, but if this is the route they want to take, then there are options to make it as convenient to use as possible.
