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

[3c-33]

Except if you couldn't lock your home people could just waltz in on you when you want privacy.

If you couldn't change someone's lighting you could literally just place light sources instead and achieve the same effect.

If you couldn't block someone then gil sellers would be bombarding you 24/7 with dms about their gil selling site and you couldn't do anything about it.

If you couldn't mute bard performances people can just play obnoxiously, and not just 1 person 5 or 6 people could do that.

If you couldn't turn off spell effects you wouldn't be able to see anything when doing hunts and would probably die to mechanics where you have to know where the front of the mob is.

Compared to all of these things, turning off glamours so you don't have to see that Viera's bikini or that person's frog suit seems like a dumb reason.

The main takeaway I have from all that is those options remove something you don't like so you don't see it at all while disabling glamours is a modification of what you don't like which is where my issue is

Also one last point the only ones who own the pixels is SE no one on either side of the argument can claim them so any adjustments that can be made to characters are SE sole discretion to be as limiting as they want it so stuff like it's my game so I should choose to view things my way is wrong, it's SE's game your just payed the privilege to play it.

This is true, though I like to think SE gives some form of leeway over the legality on owning characters. While we really don't own our characters I'm sure they understand how people feel about how their own characters being personal to them and has probably been shown before.

The artists protections have basis in the fact that it IS art though. Someone in real life CAN take your picture, draw all over it and make word bubbles coming out of your mouth that say "lol I'm dumb!" and put it on their wall and you cannot do anything about it. Your likeness is only protected insofar as profit and public representation, not your video game avatar which by rights isn't actually yours anyway.

Does that make it okay? + see above

If you want the equivalent of muting someone then an option to replace their character with a placeholder model/gear/face should be fine right? Nothing of your creation is used, there is no possible way someone would link it visually to you other than being in that particular spot at that particular time, heck it could even replace your name with initials (as is an option right now) or a number.

Yes that would be more like actually blocking someone
