Never should have gotten rid of town clothes.

I think they changed it, but I do remember auto-equipping them at one point. Was it Beta? Anyways, the thing about it is that it would've been annoying at the time. You would've been auto-equipping the toys of your town clothing. This was when Swiftness was useful to move around town. I remember some annoying things being removed before launch, like dye seeds with fertilizer that could be bought with gems to skip a daily cooldown on growing dye plants, but it was better to just sell the gems and buy the dye.

 

Town clothing would actually work now if they ever wanted to reintroduce the concept. Toy items are no longer items that we need to equip. Swiftness spam isn't needed with mounts and Leader of the Pact. I wouldn't mind a set of clothing that I could auto-equip in towns. I would much rather have other RP features worked on as a non-RPer, though.

Maybe not for veteran players. New players don't necessarily have this luxury.
