I dismiss glamour as a thing despite that it seems to be indeed lore justified... I mean, it seems pretty obvious that they tried to justify a clear game mechanic the same way they did with aetherytes... I have never seen anyone use actual glamour ICly anyway.Â
The only thing that annoys me a lot and could justify a quickchanging of armour is for example, you are with a certain class as usual (say MCH), and suddenly you need to switch to blades (ROG) for whatever reason because your character is brought up to use knives... And it suddenly messes up half your attire because it's MCH only... I never had to do that but I have seen people having to resort to it, conveniently retiring behind a shed, swapping, and coming back happily like nothing happened.
And it's either swapping clothes, or not swapping weapons. In both cases, you are screwed.
