It's time (Option to Hide other players Glamour)

[Tohe-Spidhire]

*Stares at OP's main's lodestone, where they're currently wearing a cutesy, yellow dress and Krile's hood as a PLD*
*sees they're part of what appears to be a glamour-based FC*
Something smells fishy here... >x>

Man, after each page that I read of this thread, another two appear. Okay, let me point out:

People pay *real* money for glam items, with the expectation that people are going to see them with that appearance. And I know it would be quite immersion breaking for a player to be acting as if they were wearing formal wear, but actually appeared to be wearing mismatched heavy armour, etc.

That aside, for every questionable glamour that I see, there are (roughly) a hundred people running around with decently thought-out glams. As such, I have to agree with what someone else pointed out, which is the option to hide glams is too much burden on the servers, which I suspect would involve a terribly inefficient sorting algorithm.

Others have brought up the blacklist or profanity features as a means to argue that hiding glams is easy. However, this is a fallacy because the blacklist and profanity filter concern the *text* chat system, whereas glams involve modifications to the *graphics* rendering engine.

But in the end, this has the appearance of being an awesome troll thread. People are just losing their minds.

The best part about all of this is that I think OP is a troll, but they have brought out the people who legit support this. So good on them.

Additionally, you bring up great points to why this will never be an option. Rendering gear on a per client basis is not easy, no matter what the armchair devs would like to think.
