there are already enough swimsuits ingame now, whats wrong with some exclusiv ones?
the game would be boring without anything to look forward for

They're ilvl1 swimsuits, why should they be as difficult or more difficult to obtain as a BiS item is?

because vanity lasts for eternity while every piece of ilvl 110 and higher will be outdated soon

Sure but that doesn't mean we should be forced to jump through flaming hoops suspended over a pool filled with man-eating tiger sharks to be able to get them for ourselves now does it?

I had never thought of this and was also getting annoyed that vanity items were so hard to get but you are absolutely right!

What do you think would be the point to keep a crafter up to date if everything was easy to craft? Check out the talks about the supra tools for exemple.

Crafting doesn't help in raid much (crafted tanking jewelries are great tho) nor doesn't give anything "BiS". So what is its place in the game? Glamours. By making it progressively harder to make, they keep the crafter's jobs alive and updated.

I mean, before 2.3 I never really relied on market board for anything. I just crafted my stuff myself, spiritbound my materias for novius myself, at this point what's the point of gils?
Now you gotta pay a fisher and a cook desynth'er to get your stuff because you can't possibly do everything anymore. That's when an economy starts runing. Wasn't the community complaining because economy is dead, gils worthless?

Well, like how hunts are SE's answer to "open world content" community asked for, desynth and glamour beeing hard to make is SE's answer to our "economy is dead".
