Glamour Dresser Update - Why so little?

[Mistyregions]

I mean I guess you have to be more decisive on what you actually value to wear as glamour. Unless you wanna pay more for it, that's fine. I don't, I'm a decisive person and can make one choice and stick to it, and if I want to change it, It takes 10 minutes tops.

If they gave you 1k spots in the dresser and 30 plates I guarantee you people on this forum would complain it isn't enough. There are technical limitations. Deal with it.

There's always going to be someone who complains, everyone knows this. That's not a good reason to not fix something that is clearly preventing progress. It's not just glamour they've brought up technical limitations about.

Can you people at least be grateful for these gradual improvements to the system? Do you honestly expect things to go from 1 to 100 in one update?

[DrWho2010]

see thing is every expansion is built on top of the previous one. 3.0 coding is separate and built on ARR's 2.0 structure, and 4.0's on 3.0's. this is why it's very difficult to go backwards and change things. but they also have to keep up with their patch/expansion schedule too and the direction of always trying to create something new instead of going backwards.

I mean a good reason is that it's not within the budget to develop it or maintain it with more server rooms.

Now if they up the sub, then your point stands. I for one am decisive on what I use for glamor and changing a plate out for something I don't use frequently is good enough.

All that being said they should provide it as an additional service. I don't want to pay for it, because I don't need it.

I sincerely hope that they'll at least increase the number of glamour plates again at some point in the 5.X series... 5 plates isn't going to last me the whole expansion.

15 plates, to me, is actually a pretty decent number for most players, even if you level up all your battle classes. It doesn't directly correlate to how many jobs exist, but it also doesn't need to. You don't actually need a glamor plate for every job if your intent is to have a different look for every job. And I'll count them out for you

Tanks - 4 plates
Healers - 3 plates
Ranged Physical - 3 Plates
Ranged Magical - 3 Plates
Melee DPS - 2 Plates

The reason you don't need more than that for just battle classes is that ninja and dragoon do not share any left side gear with any other job, so there's no need to store a separate look for the gear for those jobs when you change to them. Additionally, blue mage, if you have all jobs at max level, will never be sharing gear with the other casting jobs since it's level is so far behind, and so also does not need a separate plate.

Obviously this won't account for people who might want to change looks for crafting and gathering jobs, but at least to me, 15 plates seems a pretty fair baseline. My biggest complaint, personally, with the system hasn't been how few plates, but the restrictions on where I can use them. The fact that I had to be in a city state or end game hub has made me use them far less than I would have if I could use them anywhere.

I only use plates for crafting glamour once the bis shared gear set is released, for eveything else I just use the old glamour system.

Still need to be able to use the plates anywhere instead of just main cities...

Same, I am fine with the current plate set-up primarily cause I do them more by role then I do by job/class individually.

Tank(4) - 1 plate
Healer(3) - 1 plate
NIN - 1 plate
DRG - 1 plate
Casters(3) - 1 plate
Melee(2) - 1 plate
Rng physical(3) - 1 plate
Crafting - 1 plate
Gathering - 1 plate

With this, it leaves with with only 1 plate leftover fr whatever but soon will leave me with 6 free plates for random outfites now.
