The wardrobe system should not be used as a level 50 reward. Period. End of story. This is not something I've encountered in any MMO to date, and for very good reason. It doesn't matter how quickly or how slowly one can level in this game; we all deserve access to the feature, regardless of level. Hell, glamouring in XIV is less inconvenient than re-skinning in TERA because in that game, re-skinning destroys the template item, but I and many others still made use of it while leveling. No one enjoys being stuck in a mis-matched hodge podge of armor, and for some of us, the current state of alts on our armor is actually a deterrent to wanting to level them further. As I said earlier, I can't actually bring myself to level my MRD alt to cap because of her current outfit. I hate it so much that I have zero interest in her. If I could glamour away the hideousness, then I might actually want to play her.
The whole thing is terribly inconsistent. Dyes and the barber shop are both locked behind quests at level 15; it made sense to expect that glamours would be as well. Never in a million years could I have expected SE to be this stupid about something that should be available to everyone, at all times, regardless of level.
