The big killer for me is lack of swiftness while in town clothes.
Now I’m not suggesting that you have perma swiftness anytime you wear town clothes, that’d make people want to keep switching back and forth while out in the world which would be obnoxious.
What I am suggesting is that they give perma swiftness WHILE IN TOWN. When I’m in town I still use various swiftness tools in my skillset to get around. In town clothes I can’t do that, so I don’t wear them.
I know people will say “but the waypoints are free”. I know that. They’re still spaced far enough apart that I have plenty of situations where I want to use swiftness in town, keeping me out of town clothes. Got the free speed boon npcs, yes. Still have to bother going to them though, extra step that you don’t feel like taking in town.
This stopped me from bothering with buying one of the halloween costumes, because I know I won’t end up actually wearing it in town simply because of this.
