Question and concerns about the vanity sytem..

[Ildur]

Oh no! How terrible! Our players are THREATENING our MAGNIFICENT and HOLY artistic vision! Woe is us! We cannot suffer the players to express their individuality in our game! Everyone must ABIDE and OBEY our artistic vision! 'cause it's holy and stuff!

Honestly, speaking of threats to the "artistic dignity/identity" is something that talentless hacks use when their work or a work they like is criticized and they don't know how to defend it. But I'd like to point out that a vanity system will in no way harm the artistic integrity of the game at all. It's just allowing your players to use the assets you give them (clothes) in new combinations. The artist is still who gets the last word on what models and textures to create the game. The only difference is that the player has the ultimate word on what his character will wear. And if you don't like his combination of clothes? First: the Artist made it, so it's still artistically coherent and consistent with the rest of the game, even if you don't like that particular combination. Second, you can ask Squee to add a toggle so that vanity gear doesn't show up for you. That way you can live in your silly bubble where the Artist's vision is not corrupted by anyone else's vision.

Also: Tlamila, yes. Some people pointed out it's a PvP gear. However, I'd like to point out it is ALSO the "unique" mage clothes from the Sastasha/Copperbell/Tam-tara dungeons. Except the version there is undyeable.
