ZOS is following the very same bad idea GW2 had. GW2's Armory is equally expensive, not very intuitive BUT at least you can store gear in its slots making gear management MUCH easier.
C'mon, ZOS, you're FAR superior to ArenaNet. If they did something like that without 'bankrupting" (remember, except for full DLCs, GW2 is mostly free) you can do it too.
I am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.
I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).
My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian, I am the very model of a Scientist Salarian.
