Genuine question: Why doesn't VIP spell swap apply to Wizards?

The icon specifically lists Bard, Favored Soul, Sorcerer and Warlock and also the spell icons are enabled on my ranger but disabled on my wizard so it must be the outcome of deliberate consideration.

"We’re adding a new always-available VIP perk related to spell swapping. While you are VIP you can swap spells in any public area, and you don’t have a cooldown when changing spells at the trainer. "
My assumption is only 1 of the 2 features is working right and it's a bug vs a deliberate choice.

This is the "and you don’t have a cooldown when changing spells at the trainer." part. Other casters do not have to swap spells at the trainer.
It looks like a deliberate list.

That's talking about changing spells at a trainer, which only applies to the classes listed. It has nothing to do with swapping spells in one's spellbook, which would apply to Wizards and communicated by "While you are VIP you can swap spells in any public area." That part wouldn't even apply to the classes in the description you posted.
It looks like a deliberate list.

I wizard can learn all wizard spells and swap between them as he wants.
Bards, Sorcerers and Warlocks can only learn and use a small handful of spells, and can not swap when they want.

Being able to catch em all is the wizard specialty. They don't need to spell swap like a second rate more limited spellcaster because they can scribe scrolls. There is a difference between swapping spells and preparing them. If you want add a specific spell to your spellbook, go buy it. In most cases, it is for sale. Try house Jorasco or Phiarlan.

Probably because Wizard is one of those classes that can more or less swap at will anyway, just be at a tavern or a shrine. Shrine is a bit dicey, iirc you have to have *just* shrined, but not moved or buffed -- wiki prolly has the exact details, it's not a feature I use much (or ever? maybe once)

Definitely not WAI. I spent the last 5-10 min checking around before coming to the forums and finding someone already started it!
From the wording in the vip program it definitely sounds like wiz/cleric/other prepared casters SHOULD be able to swap spells anywhere. Because spontaneous people can only do it at the trainer, so why would they specify being able to swap in any public area.
Whole system is utter trash. The reward program, the delivery, basically every single aspect of it is bungled lol.

Not sure what your point is...I know the difference between spontaneous and prepared lol. The VIP "bonus" sounds like it is 2 separate things. One that applies to prepared, one for spontaneous. The prepared is not working at all.
