Why do Vanity items / Player housing / Pets exist?

[Jackl3]

Because you're a basement troll who has little to no money to spend. The people who spend the most on MMOs (older, family-oriented people, i.e. casuals) spend FAR more than you do, and the simple truth is, cute sells to those people.

Do I know you in person?
You've made an assumption on my job/wage and income based on my refusal to enjoy/buy vanity items? If you're making assumptions like that, then you're not to be trusted in general, poor lack of judgement.

Must have hit pretty close to home.

I won't make any assumption about your career or where you live, what I CAN make however, is judgement of your character and personality based on the posts you've made.

self-centered and entitled would probably be the most complimentary ones in that list, I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

No one is saying you can't have your own preference for types of content, but what you are asking for is to make YOUR preferred content to be the only ones in the game, everyone else be damned.
