That logic can be applied to XIV as well, and you wouldn't even have to have all types of prisms in your inventory, since the most often used ones are LTW and WVR.

Do you get that bothered if you get a new piece of gear and you can't change its appearance right on the spot?

Since there was a comparison between prisms and transmutation charges, why would I mention WoW/Wildstar in such a comparison?
Besides, the whole weapon/armor skin unlocking is in WoW now, so that part is essentially the same as GW2, making it redundant to mention both of them.

Which can be done in a form of a glamour log, but I can't see the glamour prisms going anywhere.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree with the prism system, since this is just turning into a pointless back and forth. You obviously hate it (and possibly everything related to the current crafting system), and I'm completely fine with it (especially after the reduced amount of prism grades).
