    Okay then, so the problem is with altering their self-expression, right?

    Then instead of altering it, you remove it entirely. Add a 'glamour blacklist', separate from the normal blacklist. Adding somebody to the glamour blacklist makes them look like a generic avatar, just like how bots appear.

    That would be amazing.

    That being said, and although I really do think it is a fair compromise, I also believe we are likely in the minority. Meaning this is a feature that will likely never become a reality.

    Sigh... C'est la vie. I guess that's how business works.

    I've long wanted a block feature that completely removed the player from your sight and prevented further interaction with them. Something that made a glamour disappear if you blocked it in that way would be similar, and make a whole lot of sense in terms of how a player could control their experience.

    Last I checked, we're paying for a sub as it is. Unless there's some issue from a game development perspective which makes it very hard to implement, I don't see the issue.

    Everything is hard for them to implement and they don't have the man hours for anything. Have you not heard every live letter since ARR. I can just see it now "blah blah servers blah blah rework the game blah blah have to move patch back blah blah insert another excuse here."
