Vanity destroys games.
Give me the jank, show me what you are actually wearing. And then get the respect for it.
The looks are a cornerstone of the progression. That red suit of dragon gear is so much better than a bikini.
counterpoint, sometimes the best gear has terrible art design. looking at you t1 Druid set or even worse, sometimes the mathematically bis list means wearing a hodge podge of different sets to activate specific set bonuses or maximize one particular stat.
You’re effectively asking the art design and game design teams to line up and hit 100% of the time, which just isn’t feasible. Transmog is the bandaid for all the times one or both teams miss.
Relish in the weirdness. If I see you in BiS that means something.
What a weird, unecessary gatekeep. Why the hell does it matter what a player wants to look like? It has zero affect on the game, far from “destroying” it.

Looks haven’t been cornerstone of progression for many many years. I recall doing a bunch of battlegrounds in WoW for shoulders that had some sort of smoke coming off them. That was probably over 15 years ago, those shoulders are crap now regardless.
I will say personally I’ve grown to enjoy a transmog system and even putting in effort for a fun or appeasing looking character. It wasn’t something I did many years ago.
However to each their own, I kinda like swtor to play dress up. Not a bad game overall either unsure about end game I mostly just make new characters and play the story.
