so lets talk about reusing gear sets

PS: in any case since they didn't give us any new glamor dresser slots, and it was already full forever ago, I kinda dread getting new nice glamours at this point, instead of being happy.

tell me about it... my dresser's been at 400 for almost a year at this point and everytime I get something new I need to pick and choose what I need to remove from the dresser/put in a saddlebag/retainer... It just feels really odd that we keep getting new glamour pretty much every single patch but the dresser capacity never increases

those glams were one of the few reasons that got people to do pvp at all, since it's basically the only nice looking stuff you can get from wolf marks

There's plenty of other nice stuff still there, and even if there wasn't, things still get different colour schemes.

The comparison glamour I posted earlier, for example, works better with the white feathers and dye pattern of the old set so I'd still choose to get the PVP version for it despite my dislike of PVP and the new version being easier to get.

I'm particularly annoyed at the pvp set reskins, both because reskins and because those glams were one of the few reasons that got people to do pvp at all, since it's basically the only nice looking stuff you can get from wolf marks, and they haven't added anything to get with wolf marks in a loooong time. But then, they never hid not caring about pvp so eh.

How about starting by making PVP not feel like hot garbage, and then adding rewards to it that are worth pursuing?

Oh yes, I love opinions presented as facts.
You may not like it, but a load of people do.

Lol, no

PVP in this game is a hollow shell only played for rewards or an extremely minor portion of the population due to the game's in baked latency and extremely disjointed pvp kits

it needs a top to bottom rework before it'll ever get any sizable amount of players outside of tomestone events or daily frontline queues for exp, neither of which are because PVP is any good.

The issue you mentioned is not a PvP issue though, it is a 'game'&'community' issue. The lag is in every content, and the comunity wanted a more casual mode that made it look too boring and unengaging the last years. It was actually pretty balanced at some points.

I dislike too, how they take more and more PvP sets and reskin them for PvE. I also think Deepshadow PvE Tome Set from last expansion was the 2nd PvP Set Shadowbringers was supposed to get, but already then they must have scrapped it in order to release on time. Usually PvP always got 2 PvP sets during 1 addon. Now only 1.
Why would I continue to play PvP if the sets just get added to Crafters later? Should we add savage gear to PvP too?

After playing WoW for 16 years and having been there during the downfall of Blizzard there are some early signs here that we saw on Blizzard forums some odd 10 years ago. And believe me, we were just as proud of our company because Blizzard had always been there for us and could do no wrong. And look how that turned out in the end. Don't be afraid to call out this kind of stuff. Less content, cutting corners, now this NFT stuff, this will just keep on getting worse unless the community pushes back against it heavily. And no Yoshi-P alone can't save the game. We also had our "gamer" devs of whom many turned out to be creeps and others were forced out of the company by the corporate and replaced.

then its a set taken from NPC's. its a new low for tome gear

The set didn't exist until EW dropped and you couldn't obtain until 6.05
So what is the problem? What does being a tome gear upsets you? Tome gears also follows a theme just like any other previous expansion ones.
I am all up for critics with certain roles/class not looking good or looking awkward etc with gears but your 2nd point is so... unclear for me...

When FFXIV is on top of the MMO world right now, they should avoid pulling these types of things. Usually in the past when they bring back old sets, they will mix them up for new jobs to use and make them dyeable versions. They didn't do that this expansion. They brought back the ascian gear sets from SHB, but left them undyable. Why?

I don't know why they keep introducing gear that isn't dyeable, and then the sets that do dye usually dye like crap. For example, the new red mage chest piece dyes the cloth and leaves the cape a dark blue. But why? If I want to dye the armor, why is there a huge chunk of it left as a random (usually hard to match) color? Also the white mage set, why does the red HAVE to stay on the dress? I don't understand who is behind these decisions, but the dye system and glamour system need a MAJOR rework.

Not to mention there's been no new PVP sets since the beginning of SHB, in the past each expansion has 2-3 pvp sets.

Also give reasons to grind dungeons for good looking new gear. Why do the 89 and 90 dungeons have no new gear?

They blame it on covid which I don't accept as a valid reason. IT has never really had issues working from home unless the staff is lazy and I'm pretty sure that Japanese workers have a much stronger mindset. I understand music since Soken had to recover from cancer and even then, he was working while in the hospital. He's a beast! But for the rest of the expansion, what happened? Maybe their workflow relied heavily on being near each other / working in the same room? I don't know if they had to work from home much but I get if it were a month or two late for adjusting but, it was about 6 months passed due and the expansion felt rushed despite its size. It didn't have the quality seal that you would expect them to have. It was/still is buggy, has a lot of clipping and rendering issues, outfits are reused, many features that were to be released for 6.0 were slated for a much later release.

Maybe we expected too much because Shadowbringers was such an amazing release, it set the bar so high it couldn't be beat?
