[Suggestion] Fashion/Vanity Slots.

[Duelle]

If you wanna look like warrior as your whm I shouldn't have to see it, thus the toggle.

Except that if there are class restrictions you won't be able to make the WHM look like a warrior because WHM can't equip warrior gear.

Are people really serious in believing no one would complain if they can't do what they want with the vanity system?

We all know someone will complain about restrictions, though this is all dependent on how far SE goes in restricting vanity slots. Blizzard, believe it or not, is REALLY stingy with their restrictions for transmogrification, and has a ton of limitations. Here:

• The character must be able to equip both items.

• Only uncommon (green), rare (blue) or epic (purple) items may be transmogrified. (exceptions: a select few of these items will be prevented from being used to transmogrify if they are inappropriate)

• Items must share the same armor type (examples: plate for plate, cloth for cloth)

• Weapons must be the same weapon type (exceptions: Guns, Crossbows, or Bows)

• Guns, Crossbows, and Bows can be used to transmogrify Guns, Crossbows, or Bows.

• Main hand weapons can only be used to transmogrify Main hand weapons.

• Off-hand weapons can only be used to transmogrify Off-hand weapons.

• One handed weapons can be used to transmogrify a Main hand or Off-hand weapon.

• Using an item for transmogrify makes it soulbound.

• Using an item for transmogrify makes it non-refundable.

• Using an item for transmogrify makes it non-tradable.

• Heirlooms and Account Bound items can be transmogrified.

• Heirlooms and Account Bound items can be used to transmogrify.

• Legendary items cannot be transmogrified.

• Legendary items cannot be used to transmogrify.

• Fishing Poles cannot be transmogrified.

• Fishing Poles cannot be used to transmogrify.

• Mailing an item strips its transmogrification.

• Placing an item in Void Storage strips its transmogrification.

• Vendoring an item strips its transmogrification.

• The displayed enchant will be that of the currently equipped item.

• There may be individual items that are excluded from being transmogrified on the basis that they were originally added to the game as absurdities. (examples: a weapon that looks like a fish, or a chest piece that is invisible)

While several don't apply (the "guns to bows" bit, the stuff with void storage, heirlooms and legendaries), the first and the last one would be a very good place for SE to start with. The last one also covers the issue with seasonal gear. Admitedly, I'm iffy on that because on the WoW forums we have some who have been asking for certain gear to be allowed for transmogging (like a certain poster that wants to wear a Vile Fumigator's Mask full-time but can't because it wasn't flagged for transmog).

WoW's transmoging system is also a gil sink. Instead of merely equipping it in a different slot, you pay to have that slot changed into the look of an item you own, following those restrictions. I'll be fine with it becoming a gil sink to change a slots appearance the same way here.

People should have to wear, you know, the design that the gear came with. If you want to play dress up go to the store and buy a freaking doll.

Our characters are like dolls though

I don't care how people see me, I just want vanity slots so I don't have to see myself as a train wreck without sacrificing stats.

Why vanity slots then? .dat mods are much more plausible in that case (legality, blah blah, not detectable anyway)

You want to wear the gear you want without the repercussions. You want to force us into doing what you want, but you think its stupid that we want to be able to turn it off on JUST our side and let you continue to look the way you do.

That's the thing, the moment you turn it off, I no longer look the way I do.

This is a fantasy game with a strong connection to realism. That has always been SE thing. Japanese plausible reality. They create almost crazy fantasy world you can escape into because of the seeded realism. Wearing what you are not wearing is not plausible in any idea.

An open shirt/subligar providing nearly as much armor as a chain/plate mail is not realistic in any way either, but hey, who cares about that! You're being awfully selective about your sense of realism here.

You mean those other people that don't want to see vanity gear in the first place?

You don't have a right to decide how my character looks like, it's my character, not yours. Whatever I wear is none of your business. What's going to be next? A toggle to allow people to change other character names to anything they want?

So the basic idea is to disguise what you are really wearing from other players?
Unless you are ashamed of your real gear, you should have no opposition to a toggle.

*sigh* I am not ashamed of my real gear. I am tired of a system that forces me to wear something purely for stats. Provoking me won't do you any good.

So the only reason against a toggle is "I don't want you see me in my real gear" so actually there is no argument against it...

Blatantly ignoring the fact that the only reason you want to see my real gear is to see my stats, which you can still do by checking me.

Actually it is ppl whining about the possibility to toggle it off. Actually its not even your buisness how i choose to see the ppl. Just cause you can't hide your gear for ppl who don't want it...

No, it's none of your business how my character looks on your screen, actually. I'm the one paying for it, not you. Or are you offering to pay for me?

This would be the case if there was only one gear everyone wears, but with this stupid vanity BS, its my right to refuse to see all the stupid pumpinhead/subligar/santa setups.

As long there are not enough restrictons (eventgear/job/level) there is a need of a toggle. I just don't want my game experienced to be fucked up just cause ppl think they need to dress up like clowns cause they dont need to care about stats anymore.

And there will be a major impact in pvp too.

I am getting tired of this same argument being repeated over and over again. So tired in fact, that I'm not going to go ahead and explain why it's wrong for the xth time.

Cause it's not, as long we don't know about the restrictions this is a point that some ppl think about. Maybe you like to run around like a clown or don't care when you run a dungeons with ppl looking like clowns. Only thing that is tired is that ppl are against a toggle and don't have an argument other then "Cause I don't want you to get a toggle"
