Increase glamour plate limit.

From 200 to oh, about 10,000 please, or ∞ There is no logical reason for such a limitation. Or flesh out the glamour system to be more like WoW's transmog system. Say what you will about WoW but the one thing they did right is how their cosmetic system works. Every item you obtain is added to an appearance library and unlocked for the entire account. Glamour plates is like halfway there to be honest. But they're heavily limited. Only 200 slot. Sure that's another 200 slots to help take some pressure off our poor retainers but I'm stilled forced to prune some items, can't keep everything for glam because how much unique items there are versus how much inventory space is like not at all comparable. There is also the amoire but like countless sets won't go into it even though it's a set. I love FFXIV but the cosmetic system has always been cumbersome. Yes there has been lots of improvements made and I appreciate it. But I feel like something more drastic is needing. Especially as more expansions and more content patches are added with ever more unique gear and armor. Especially with new jobs coming in with unique armor sets. You can even keep the glamour prisms. And the plate system to make a more streamlined and sensible system. Because combining plates with traditional glamouring is kind of awkward. So basically the glamour plate mirror/dresser thing should be made into a gear library. When you use a prisms to add an item to the library you can then put them in sets you make with the plates. The difference is instead of physically adding the item into a limited space special inventory you're unlocking the appearance in the glamour plate library. This would focus most glamour to the plate system. It would also allow us to clear out mass amounts of inventory space and make room for other things. Especially for those who do DoH/DoL they need that space. I've avoided doing those just because I don't have the inventory for them. I know the main devs are Japanese so they may never get this message, or not like it. Maybe they're convinced inventory juggling is somehow fun. I don't know. But I'd really like to see this change.

I agree that 200 is low, but I don't think we really need more then 1,000.

The limit needs to be equal to the amount of unique item appearance in game minimum.

How can you have over 200? I only have two glamours defined in the game now, which is one more appearance set than I have in RL

The logical reason is this is not WoW, and the game is still working on old 1.0 code which brings a ton of other limitations that often take several years to see fixes/changes.

You do know WoW didn't originally had a cosmetic systems at all right? That WoW is running off a modified version of the original Wc3 engine? And they made it work.

yeah... and you know how long that took them? 10 years. yes, the original engine is from 2001 and the transmog system was implemented in december 2011. That's actually almost 11 years.

How dare SE not figure their stuff out in a shorter timeframe than the all mighty gods at Blizz.

Look. I too want more inventory space and glam plates but you have to admit no one knows how bad is the coding. The thing that annoys me is how people act like they know better than the devs who work with said code because they have X Y Z experience with stuff that may or may not be similar. Because clearly everything works the same way. Just... stop. Things are not black and white.

Things suck right now but we need to keep asking so they realize how important this is to the community. It would help if some people would drop the condescending attitude.

You think it took 10 years for them to do that? That people worked on that for 10 years?

No. It took ten years for it to make the top of the list. Why do people have a hard time understanding that?

I don't know.. why do people say things like "it would be so easy... " when they have no knowledge of the actual work involved?

Square Enix has more money than Blizard. And 2001 code is much more ancient and harder to work with then what? 2011? When the original 1.0 released? And they already rebooted the code a bit for 2.0.
