SE just make a vanity slot to solve all your issues with this.

[moriandrio]

I'm just a lowly gamer, and know little of the ways of business. but it would be in SE's best interest to put their absolutely best foot forward. the game now has more hype than it could have ever dreamed for due to the relaunch. while everyone is looking they should do something great. the game was a failure. it came back slightly. it now has the opportunity to do something completely unprecedented.

the big things are a given. without those it is absolutely doomed to fail. this is known. no-one is going to argue that. so saying we are sacrificing any of that for a lesser concern is beyond comprehension.

but what really makes or breaks the game in the long run are the little things. Vanity slots are a big step in the right direction. if there is overwhelming feedback in the alpha/beta to add vanity slots. what then?

and what's wrong with running around in a yukata? I'd rather see someone in geta, a yukata, and tiny little back shorts than imperial dalmatica+WHM AF legs.

It's a luxury item. I agree. but luxury items are what really make one thing good and other things great.

what SE really needs to do is get it right. if that means having to slow down even though the fanboi is saying "BUT I WANNA PWAY NOOOOOOWWWW" I'm all for it.

Do we need it at launch? no. absolutely not. but should we have it 9 months from now? I think yes. we already have gear sets in ARR. it should be possible to dedicate one of these to 'vanity' gear. or have the option to set one of them to vanity gear and do a model swap for equipped gear.

We also need to be able to share gear between sets. those are the kinds of things that destroy a game in the long run. tedious things that don't make sense. a lot o fthe reasons i'm seeing are excuses to not do work. not reasons why it really shouldn't be done.

Not having vanity slots doesnt destroy a game sry but thats BS.
And there is one reason why i dont want them, i just dont wanna see Rogadyn Paladins in a Yukata tanking, sry but thats something that would destroy the flair of the game.
