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

[3c-33]

This isn't a picture of you. It's a picture of game assets.



Way to compare my screen to a park bench.

We're talking about an mmo with a very large focus on the social and personalized aspects. It is exactly like a park bench in that it's a public space with other people in it and you shouldn't get to decide what you see on another person. It's one thing if whatever you're playing is a completely depersonalized avatar that doesn't represent you and another if it isn't.

On your screen. On my screen, it does.

So everything belongs to you because it's on a screen, got it.

Funny that you use the word choice when you want to prevent other people from having one.

Okay, then I want the "choice" to be exempt from this toggle, am I limiting your "choices" now because I want to be excluded from something that should not matter to you? Is it limiting your choices that I don't get to appear in your photos?

I've been out of this conversation for a while due to post limits and I come back to the same tired "arguments" from those opposed to this option.

1. This option would not restrict someone's "freedom of expression" in any way. You can still glamour all you want, just some people won't see it. This is like saying that, just because I don't watch someone on YouTube I'm trying to silence them. It's utterly ridiculous.

2. People are modding their client side display all the time to have gear look a specific way without your knowledge. This does not stop them from taking screenshots or streaming and yet no-one is rallying against that for some reason. At least if this was an official implementation then they could add the limitations of no screenshots or streaming if it's that much of a concern. Also, most, if not all, people who do mod their display do it for personal reasons. They're not looking to share their display around, in part because it's against the ToS and could get them banned as well, but the option is still there for them.

3. This game has 15+ million players worldwide, why do you care so much that a percentage of those players don't want to see your glamour? Are you that conceited?

1. That is like saying because you don't like that person on YouTube you think they should not get to post at all just in case you look at them.

2. SE has already made their stance on mods clear, it's already technically "not okay" and we all know where that would go if they actually banned them and any users who they catch using them completely.

3. I see familiar players on my server all the time because this game replicates the phrase "a small world" the way real life does. And apparently wanting my appearance that you don't have to look at to be left alone is conceited.

It's amazing how many people are so disillusioned that they think giving people an option to swap to AF armor during instances would literally destroy them and who they are.

It's amazing how self absorbed people are that they want SE to bother making an option all for you because you don't like looking at other players, while wanting to be left alone apparently makes me the narcissist.
