Job-based Glam System

[Cidel]

In the gearset list you can link a glamour plate to each gear set.

See:

It would be cool if the glam can be based on jobs instead of the equipment itself.

And I agree, I'd prefer glamour to somehow apply to your job rather than the equipment- which I assume is related to the 1.0 spaghetti-coding meme.

Glamour plates as they are currently are a bandaid of sorts. If you could apply them anywhere, this would be less of an issue, however they are only relevant within city-states and instanced endgame hubs like the Reach and Eulmore. You're SoL if you want to wear plates with job-specific gear or different glamours between tanks/healers/etc. in areas like Eureka or Bozjan Front. This is unfortunate, given the ability to change jobs on the fly mostly anywhere is a main feature of the game.

It would go a long way to see more AF actually in-use (or varied glamour between jobs sharing roles) if they would find a way to save glamour plates to your job stones or something rather than specifically all the equipment you are using.
