Getting tired of the same couple people turning every discussion into a pissing match.
There are just three(3) Rules of Glamour, and they are:
1. You cannot vanity/glamour gear that is not equip-able by your current class.
SE has stood by this rule since Vanity was first mentioned way back in 2012, and they have reiterated this stance across a couple Live Letters. Not sure why this comes as a shock.
2. You cannot vanity/glamour gear that does not consume the same number of equipment slots.Â
This is a bit annoying, but I can see why when you look at how the gear system has turned out to be more of a "dye" system instead of the "gear set" system we were all thinking it'd be. Very hard to add a glamour prism to a slot that has nothing equipped. And hard to make a hood appear while not clipping the headpiece you have equipped beneath.Â
3. You cannot vanity/glamour gear that is of a higher Item Level than the gear that is currently equipped.
I think SE was trying to save us all a bit of money on this one. If you're wanting to look as cool as possible while leveling up a new class, you're going to have to keep swapping in new Glamour Prisms to every new piece of gear you obtain.* And at low levels, you're getting new gear every couple of levels. It's just way too impractical.
*Assumes Glamour Prisms are consumable items, which based upon how they've been presented, I think they are. They act just like dyes really. You right click a piece, you add another piece's appearance to it, and presto! a prism is consumed. You can now put your Crimson Robe back in your retainer. There was no prism equip slot anywhere on the Character Window and I didn't see a "Remove Glamour Prism to Inventory" option on that pulldown menu. This way all of your blank Prisms fill up just a single slot in your inventory and you don't have to carry a million Used Prisms in your inventory. Because they can't stack in your inventory if they all have a different look to them.
Why SE decided upon these rules is ultimately, irrelevant. They're there, and they're going to stay a while, if not permanently. You're more than entitled to state your opinion. Most of you have made yours quite clear on the first two pages of the thread. But those of us who support SE's decisions are just as entitled to our opinion as those who disagree.Â
What you are not entitled to, is the right to verbally abuse other members of this community. No matter how "on-topic" you claim to be.Â
Your contribution of $15/month does not aggrandize your opinion. Just like your purchase of a movie ticket does not award you artistic licence of the next Avengers movie. Just like paying your ambulance bill does not mandate the standard of care I provide as a Paramedic. You can whinge all you want, but it's ultimately the company's prerogative.
Lemme clue you in, presenting yourself like a petulant child is not going to help showcase your opinion in a positive light. Synaesthetic, if these forums are any evidence of how you "politely disagree" with someone, I can see why you were banned from the official forums. I can barely stand to read through some of these posts; do you think SE is going to sit down and give them any merit?Â
"Imma sit here and disrespect your company, your producer, your stance on several other issues unrelated to this one, and then compare you to some other companies out there. And if you're still listening to me after that, I'm gonna threaten you with my money and tell you what I think would make your company better." -Forums
"You lost me at 'disrespect,' sorry." -SE
The changes that players have brought to this game have been through polite and appropriately placed commentary upon systems that were not functioning as intended. Tantrum-inciting topics such as "The Grass Is Bad" or the "Armoury System is Outdated" or any topic by Rokien really, have elicited no change in stance on SE's part to date. Go figure.

Quote:A: We are currently planning to implement [Vanity] in patch 2.2 (the second major patch). While the feature is ready to go, we’re still discussing how we can establish the feature as content. As far as the freedom goes, as we stated during the previous live letter, black mages will not be able to equip heavy armor, etc.-[Source]
