    Agreed. There's no excuse to not allow for a higher number of plates. At least one per job, as suggested here, should be the bare minimum.

    Same goes for the glamor dresser's capacity. It should be infinite: the moment an item is bound to you, its appearance should be saved for you to use whenever you want.

    There is a reason: they have to store that data for every single player, and it seems that they continue to suffer from a poor inventory design that becomes ever more unwieldy over time.

    While I have no insight into it as such, I suspect that glamour plates are stored as independent items from the copies in the glamour that get cloned when you add them to the plate. It would explain why they remain on the plate once the base item gets removed from the dresser.

    So they have to store the data for each item in the dresser, plus possibly allow for 12 items per plate.

    My point is that we're talking about a successful company with plenty of resources. They claimed that showing whether an attack was magical or physical was very hard yet implemented it a couple of patches later.

    WoW fixed stuff like the (de)buff cap more than 10 years ago, so there's no excuse (i. e. reason) for them to have limitations such as these in 2023.
