So, you guys removed the effect from the Let It Snow costume and immediately implemented this new dog face one which gives 700 hp + increased healing from meat. Great. You didn't get rid of our WoE uniform. You gave us a new one that looks worse. Perfect.
Tell me, do you intend on letting us wear what we want to wear ever again or is this just what things are going to be like from now on?
Promethean Crown doesn't have the "only works during X month" conditional. That means I'm gonna have to wear that costume all the way up to 99 once trans classes are out. I'm gonna have to force myself to wear it on every single character I decide to level from now on for the sake of efficiency. Sure, I'm free to wear whatever costumes I want, but I think I'd be a fool not to wear something that'll likely save me 10 to 20 hours of grinding while getting to 99 as a trans class.
What about people who join us one or two months from now? "Where did you get that? It looks cool." Sorry, pal. You missed out. It's bad enough that you missed out on a cool-looking costume, but you also missed out on something that might've otherwise saved you tens or hundreds of hours of grinding in the long run.
If you want us to wear santa hats during December because of Christmas, then, cool, do that. It makes the event feel special. Just please don't turn that into dictating what we wear year-round. It's bad not only because it defeats the purpose of the costume system, but because it can actively detract from one's enjoyment of the game if they're being forced to wear something whose appearance they dislike (seriously, the dog face costume is absolutely HIDEOUS).
