I wholeheartedly agree with your first point....


The fact is, 'vanity slots' are a costly fix for a problem that doesn't exist (except in the minds of a small group of forumites.)

The new gear-set system allows you to instantly switch whatever gear you want on the fly, so you can walk around all day in your Yukata + Harlequin cap, and quickly change to your gear when you fight/craft/etc.

With this in mind, every argument for a vanity slot system can be boiled down to:

"I WANT SE TO BUILD A SYSTEM THAT WILL TURN ALL GEAR EVER CREATED INTO MERE COSTUMES JUST SO I DON'T EVER HAVE TO CHANGE OUT OF MY SWIMSUIT/YUKATA/ETC WHILE FIGHTING GARUDA."

(Face it, you could wear whatever you want for most other content)

Gear Sets in ARR will allow you to quickly change into whatever gear you like WITHOUT marginalizing all present and future gear - That should be good enough.
