Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

It sounds like they are going to go with Aion's vanity system - where you changed the look of your gear by reskinning them with the items you wanted them to look like.

That wouldn't be a bad system but I bet a lot of people are going to complain that they can't freely change their looks every time unless they kept buying or farming for the same vanity items.

You bet I'd complain about that. Why go with a subpar system when perfection already exists?

Of course make limitations like "Class/Job must be able to wear it" or "No seasonal gear".

Why? You mention Rift's system and then champion class/job restrictions in the same breath - that's silly! No restrictions are necessary.

Perfection already exists. Unfortunataly you want a vanity system so you can't have perfection.
Have to at the very least try to remain sane at this point

2.2 for vanity slots is nowhere near soon enough, with the retarded amount of maintenence that is done per week, one would think they could fit vanity slots into 2.1 sheesh

Yeah... I'm going to be one of those people. I don't like transmutation. Particularly in this game where it's already difficult to keep track of all your equipment. Now I'd have to keep track of which equipment stats are on what piece of gear. And if I want stats from my AF armor on something else will I lose my AF armor? Or is that going to be un-transmutable because of that. And if all the unique high level gear is un-transmutable, that just defeats the purpose of vanity slots to begin with.

I was really hoping for just a simple wardrobe system, like RIFT or LotRO. I feel like that would take just as much processing as one extra gear set, but I don't really know anything about stuff like that.

I hate transmutation too. A system that forces you to discard two items forever (one for the stats and the other one for the appearance) is bad. I hated it in Aion, I hated it in GW2, and I would hate it here too if that's what they have planned to implement. I don't care how they do it, but we should be able to keep both items as they were originally, or the vanity system will be simply worthless besides being a one use only thing. Some sets aren't easy to get, with the RNG and all, not to mention those uniques like AF or event gear (see Lightning's set, for instance, now that it's coming this week).
