Glamour Dressers and Armoires

So I've been thinking for a while about how these work, and a lot of the time I see way too convoluted suggestions. Personally, I've been envisioning it as such for consistency:

Armoire: Any natural Level 1, All Classes glamours can go here.

Glamour Dresser: Any gear piece you want to -turn into- a Level 1, All Classes glamour piece can go here.

If we envision it this way, not only do we get access to visuals of any gear for any job, but also, we get rid of the need to make "Replica" type gear for every single thing players like, and we get an organization and separation between "natural glamour pieces" and gear that we turned into such.

There would be no point differentiating between "natural" and "converted" glamours if such a thing existed. But either way it requires a complete redesign of the system.

The dresser is designed to integrate with the old prism system without disrupting it. Once the glamour is applied, it has the same end result in the system regardless of the method used to apply it. I'm pretty sure that's been done that way exactly because they don't want to (or simply can't) rebuild the old system.

Yeah, I get you. I wasn't really saying they'd be different or not use prisms. I'm just saying that for better usage of both storage spaces, and perhaps even freeing the load of the glamour dresser, the level 1 all classes pieces that are literally only used for glamour could go into the armoire, while the gear sets we want to use for glamour could go into the glamour dresser. Functionally that wouldn't change much, since we'd still be able to access both for our glamour plates, but practically, it'd let us have more space overall for pieces in the dresser, and the gear and glamour pieces would end up being put into their own separate category for ease of organization. The one thing I added into this idea that would change things more functionally would be having the gear also turn level 1, all classes once they're inside the dresser, to make it so you can mix and match more, and not have to buy replica pieces from the market, nor have the dev team feel forced to make more of these "replicas".
