There is zero reason to show the default portrait when one exists.

I mean It should save the first one we have the same as adventure plates do, then if we update or change something we have an option to update that within the portrait i do agree 100% there is no excuse for it when it should be saving how we were when we took it and not refreshing with every little change, but they won't do that I mean come on tank stance gets removed every time you level sync and there is 0 reason for that bs tank stance doesn't increase anything but emity gain so there no reason level sync should effect it lol

Name one case where a mismatched accessory in the glamour plate results in something that is not allowed in the portrait.

The mismatch is the thing that is not allowed in the portrait -- even if it's something as minor as a ring looking different, or even something that is entirely hidden like turned-off headgear or items that you're wearing "underneath" a gear piece that takes up multiple slots.

In some cases, to deal with multi-slot items, you may need to have a designated second glamour plate that you'll always apply before applying the one you actually want.

You also need to save things in the correct order. You need to save the gearset first and then update the portrait second, because the portrait takes note of what is listed in the gearset rather than what you are currently wearing. (This step has been simplified now that it prompts you to update and approve the portrait when you save the gearset.)

I just wanted the option to use the Adventure Plate portrait as the default one. Pronto, simple band-aid until they figure how to make the tool work better.

Judging by the pedantry that went into this system the mere thought of displaying me as a fisher when entering a dungeon would probably cause something to snap inside the mind of the developer.

Honestly the UI of this game as a whole needs some sort of a modern consultancy.

I find it really weird that (taking OC's vendor as an example) these are all separate menus:

Silver coins gear
Silver coins battle items
Silver coins other
Gold coins battle items
Gold coins other

instead of just Silver and Gold and inside you'll find tabs for all of those. The raid vendors turns out to be a chaotic mess of different menu options by the end of the expansion. I remember as a new player looking at that and getting really overwhelmed not sure where to start at.

waiting for the jqit guy or what his name was to come and tell you how beautiful the ui is and how the devs just need more time
