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

[Iscah]

You can have both because of the nature of video games.

This comes full circle to the fact that you wouldn't know whether someone was using this feature or not. In doing so you can just assume that everyone is seeing your character as you want them to be seen. Exactly the same as the modding situation, yet you seem to have no beef with that. Why should you have the option to make me see something that I'd rather not, yet I don't get the option to not see it? It all seems rather one sided.

In what way is that "having both"?

The viewer gets what they want - control over the player's appearance.

But what does the player get? They know the option is there for people to turn off their glamour. They have not gotten what they want.

It is impossible to have both. You can implement "one and an illusion of the other", if the player is unaware that others could be altering their character, but not both.

And I addressed the modding issue earlier in the discussion - saying I didn't like it is what spawned this whole part of the argument. I have the same feelings about it. I don't like it at all. But the argument that it's already happening unofficially shouldn't make me any happier with the (hypothetical) prospect of having it made both easier and officially endorsed.

Forgive me for not being able to come up with an analogy that isn't overdramatic, but it seems like saying "a hacker can already steal your information, so why would you be unhappy about the government publishing it?"
