    Item/Gear Management Needs A "Less is More" Redux

    Needing to keep track of sorting gear in/out of armoury chest and glamour drawer is just a blatant mandatory chore and wasting too much time for something that doesn't need to exist.

    Glamour dresser is 100% a mistake and shouldn't exist, cosmetic appearances should be auto-learned upon item pickup. It killed my interest in wanting to go out of my way to build cosmetic sets. I'd rather pretend glamours don't exist than deal with this back and forthing.

    Additionally, end game gear currency systems and needing to keep track of whether a currency item is useful or bag space wasting or if I can even use said currency items is giving me extremely bad vibes. Just put all the gear currencies in a currency tab and don't fill our bags with the job of un-engaging chore tier busy work.

    My limit was with poetic currency tracking, and hitting end game with the bag filling nag items that I'm supposed to keep track of (in combination with various current tier things being timegated, on their own they are more tolerable) is why I quit FFXIV for a few months, twice in a row so far (once last year, then again a few months ago). The only thing that brings me back is that a certain other mmo has raced to the bottom and so I keep giving FFXIV another shot.

    I'm just giving my own experience and frustrations here so a developer can read them. I'm not going to respond to comments, if it's like WoW forums with people nitpicking and gatekeeping.
