Glamour Log please. Just want to play the game...

[GrizzlyTank]

Without having to throw away something that took time to collect every single time i log on and every single time i want to play another job.

The Dresser did nothing, it's just a glorified bank.

The Additional retainers costs money and is just messy to find out where you put what.

The Additional inventory slots we got also did nothing but to delay the inevitable.

There are so many logs in this game except for the one thing that matters the most for everyone. Fashion is the endgame in mmos many of which have added various of glamour logs. Yet here we are still using a system that makes you feel punished for having a wide collection of outfits.

A properly made glamour log should also not be any more taxing on the servers than the logs we already have.

I dont see what the problem is with the current system? What do you mean throwing something away each time you log on? Something tells me you're not using the glam dresser properly...

The problem with the current system is that you constantly have to think about what you have to throw away because your inventory and dresser and retainers are filled. Something that gets more and more annoying the more you play, and significantly worse for ever additional job you decide to level.

It's not a satisfying feeling having to throw away gear that takes a unknown amount of time to reacquire since it was a random drop from a dungeon.

The glam dresser and inventory expansion is nothing but a band aid fix on this continuous problem. A problem FFXIV's competitors have solved years ago without much hassle. WoW, GW2, ESO in neither of these games to i have to think about having to clean the inventory for outfits every time i log on. In those games i log on, do what i want to do and log off. In FFXIV i log on, try to do something with another job and gets met with "Insufficent armory space", sort the armory, sort the inventory, move things from the inventory back to the armory, get met with "Insufficent armory space" again... and again... and again.

It's a convoluted mess because i can't do something as simple as in GW2, WoW or ESO which is just unlock and discard.

The problem is there's not enough space in it. My glam dresser is full and I have two retainers almost entirely full of glamour. My armory chest is almost entirely full in every slot but belt. I have the same problem as OP - I regularly have to go through and get rid of things I maybe don't use as often or like as much as something new that I just got. I'm almost constantly shuffling what I'm storing, where I'm storing it, and what I'm getting rid of because there just isn't enough space.

I'm pretty disillusioned with Blizzard at this point, but transmog in WoW is something they, for the most part, got right. A glamour log would solve almost all of my inventory management problems.

Last I checked the Glam Dresser maxes out at 200 items, unless they increased that lately?

Even a very casual person like me who doesn't glam much, I already have 20-30 used up.

Also, only having like 15-20 plates when you're forced to use a whole plate for something like JUST a weapon is lul. Like I want to have a biker outfit for multiple jobs, but maybe I don't like (insert job here)'s weapon, so I gotta make a whole nuther plate just for that instead of clicking my weapon, clicking the thing in the dresser and saying "Glamour just that item" without using a plate (If there's a way to do this I haven't figured it out).

Also, having to run back to an Inn room, or an FC house, or what-not to find a glamour dresser to do this stuff is kinda meh.

WoW gave you a semi-expensive mount that has a transmog NPC right on the mount and once you have this mount, all characters on your account can transmog anytime, anywhere you can summon mounts once you are high enough level to do so (Lv20 IIRC). And your character can transmog anything that you've ever found that your character can equip at the time it dropped. Found a nice looking plate armor a few years ago with your paladin, and now you are leveling a warrior 3 years later and that plate armor is nice for the rest of the outfit? No problem! As long as you had it in your inventory at least once and it was bound to you (meaning, untradeable), you're good to go anytime.

Its 400. They doubled it almost a year ago lol...

*shrug* I said I was a casual glam person, sue me.

Even at 400, I could see a serious glam person filling that up easy. I have almost 10% of it and I haven't even been trying to collect much in the way of glams, just a few outfits because I got tired of mish-mash levelling outfits and/or had the occasional idea.

Just to give you an idea.... let's say you really like the wolf sets and want them for all of your jobs, just as a quick example, and let's say you only do the Helm/Body/Gloves/Legs/Boots. That's 5 per set and there's Tank, Healer, Caster, Ranged, DRG, NIN, SAM/MNK.

That's 35 glam slots for just 1 set of armor for all the jobs.

That ain't gonna last long if they keep releasing nice sets of armor.

I got every piece of armor from The Copied Factory. I was wearing that on all jobs until they added Neo-Ishgardian gear and I crafted several of those sets to wear. But I'm never going to throw that Nier gear away.

Currently praying the next Nier raid has some boxy machine lifeform gear instead just so I don't feel compelled to collect every set.

I took up those extra slots the day they doubled it. As did many others. When the glamour dresser was implemented nearly four years ago, they said it would get updates in the future. Other than placing the dresser in additional locations, the slot and plate increase has only received one upgrade. They know this is an issue. They just don't want to do anything about it. It's too bad. I'm willing to bet that modernizing the glamour system would easily extend the life of FFXIV by an additional expansion at the very least. They seriously underestimate just how much importance players put on glamour.
