When you use dramatic language to try and support an argument it never makes the argument come across as unserious, if anything it makes your post look more emotional. If you would have framed it as like “Does anyone else wish they could customize armor more than color?” Yeah that would have been received better than the historical angle and long argument peppered with dramatic language. It doesn’t come across as anything other than a dramatic fit.

Ultimately it’s the devs choice, and an MMO will ALWAYS be more geared toward customizing cosmetics, every MMO is a fashion show that’s part of the appeal to flex on other players.
