I am thinking about returning to FFXIV but unsure.

As of right now, vanity slots are coming in 2.2, though some are working to try to change that with a petition.

Why the hell would anyone try to stop vanity slots? So everyone can look exactly the same in BiS, colors and all?
Can you please link to the thread? I'm curious as to what their thought process is. It seems ridiculous to me.

I want to stop vanity slots for one reason: If won't dissociate looks and attributes as far as City of Heroes did, then you damn well have to wear the looks of your attributes :/

That aside, what she is talking about is the precise opposite, a hugeass thread trying to pressure (futilely as they already said it isn't coming in 2.1) for the vanity system to come in patch 2.1 instead of patch 2.2. So they're more or less going "GIVE IT FASTER" despite knowing they won't get what they want.

Yah, pretty much. We're hoping they put them in faster since the code is already there and because of events like the Lightning Returns that gave us all these cool weapons and the two costumes that no one is going to really wear because they are level 14 junk, stat-wise (run on sentence runs on). It may be a futile effort, but "it might not work" is never a reason not to try. Especially considering that if they add the vanity slots and bust out a cash shop type dealio for costumes, a lot of us would glad pay extra money for them. Seems like a money making opportunity they should jump on.
