Why do Vanity items / Player housing / Pets exist?

[lololink]

Because some people enjoy doing other things than killing poor little monsters that only wants to destroy the world.
Some people like to have a pretty house and catch all the pok....err pets.

This.
I can't wait to have a house in this game. It'll be so much fun.
In many MMO's people have houses, pets, and cute outfits. People invest in it. [AION has a very nice housing area.]
All because you don't want to do anything like that, then don't participate in it. You get dungeons and CT to join the club in 2.1.
This game will be even more boring than it is now, in 2.1. I'm waiting personally on 2.1 for the housing.
We can even craft up things for the house. I just like the lil' fun things. Can't wait for minigames too.
This game needs more stuff on the side or else it gets super duper boring, and people enjoy the lil' things here and there.

Oh and to add, we desperately need vanity slots. We look like trash unless it AF or a set item. Sick of seeing the same generic robes.
I wouldn't mind the slots if not for the lazy design they had with armor in this game.

While I cant wait for housing...I love the idea.
It is another way of pushing some inherent problems of arr under the rug.

In EQ2 I did two things mainly, worked on decorating a house and guild hall and raided. THe housing can be a great way to spend time using your creativity to decorate it depending on how it is set up, that game had fantastic housing. I am hoping the housing here allow for creativity to be used.
