The game has a story and raids that progress your character in that story, this is the main goal of the game. If you want a game that is based around Vanity content go play the Sims.If you want to do things outside the scope of the main goal and the developers give you the option to do so but it comes with a price its fine because it does not involve further or hinder people from the main goal of the game. You choose to participate in this vanity content, in doing so you have the great option of making it better by paying more, you also have the option of not paying at all. You should be happy there is even a choice of not paying, because this content is not even close to the purpose of the game. Everyone complaining needs to get over themself, you are part of the problem. Please do not complain about vanity content in a story based, progressional game. As I said if you want to play a vanity game the Sims Online or Second Life are still around.
Ilvls are vanity too. Actually i see far more braging about iLvl than i see about housing or glamouring.

Advancing on story grants you titles which are also vanity.The game is made up of subsystems, everyone of them as important as the other, the moment you take any of those and put them behind a paywall just because you think, from the subsystem you participate the most, that one is optional, it doesnt make it so. A thousand players would tell you that housing is far more important than high end raiding. Those players are not optional, the content they enjoy is not optional. Everything in this game is either a must or optional. You can`t have a few of each all over the place.

BTW, playing the game is also optional, and can even be considered vanity for some, specially high end raiders.

And is lovely your attitude, "you don`t do my content, so your content is optional and please leave to other games", you gonna go far kid.
