Rewards are Punishment. Yes.

The dev team worships the software monster so nothing will change.

Not funny enough, and not a valid excuse.

The system in WoW was added in 2011. Square has had since 2013 to do work on the engine.

They chose graphics over improving other more dire elements of the game.

Nothing will change.... The game will be in maintenance mode because the devs don't get a clue and the suits in corp decide the game needs it's budget fixed and not since they leech funds to make puke like forspoken.

You have no idea what maintenance mode is and it absolutely isn't a top to down graphical overhaul that is going to take another three years.

you have no idea how business works... This game is their net positive venture but because of their poor decisions is turning negative. They use this game to fund everything else. Only 20% or so of your sub fees and mogstation purchases are money that is reinvested into this game. If the situation doesn't improve they don't the options to run a deficit on this game long term like other bigger companies do and it will deemed not viable anymore.

It was not.

Transmogs/Glamours were added to the game in 2011, but at the time they worked almost exactly like FFXIV glamours. They didn't move to the current appearance log system until 2016.

Okay, I'm going to need to be a bit fair to Square Enix here; When Transmogrification was added to WoW, it quite literally was the Glamour Dresser system of today, albeit slightly more clunky because you had to take an item outside the dresser (Void Storage) to use it for glamour (Transmogrification) - and back in. Which cost gold, and it wasn't exactly cheap by the time's standards either. 100 gold per transaction (or per item, not sure), and 1000 gold to even unlock the system.

For reference, the fastest flying speed in the game at that point in time was 5000 gold.

That being said, I completely agree that the system needs an overhaul.
