    Not exactly localization but something that could be explained better

    You know when you try to glamour something that is a higher level than what you're currently wearing and it says something like "make sure the item you're trying to glamour is correct for your class/race/gender". It could really do with a better explanation.

    Something like:

    You cannot currently glamour (whatever item you're trying to glamour) because its level is higher than the items you currently have equipped or because you're a different race or gender than the items are designed for.

    (Please ungender and unrace lock everything) <3

    Honestly I would consider this a UI/UX issue rather than a localization issue. The problem isn't that the message is bad (it is bad, but that's not the problem). The problem is that the system probably isn't coded to put out more specific error codes that need to be translated to human readable messages. The system should have different error codes for
    • Equip level too high
    • Wrong race
    • Wrong gender
    • Wrong class/job
    • Multi-slot conflict

    and each of those should have a localized message so that it's clear what the problem is and less experienced folks aren't left just scratching their heads.
