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

[Gula]

If anything, I now only want this implemented to see the absolute rage that would presumably follow, gauging from several reactions in this thread. :P

Better include hiding housing glamours. Every day I look at the Paissa Medium beneath my Large and I want it to be demolished. Or the Large chocobo house disrupting the Goblet canyon view from my Medium.

When I see a paissa house I can feel its eyes staring into my soul, and it makes me uncomfortable.

Every time I see a Paissa house, I think to myself that Hydaleyn has forsaken her children...

Even if this apparent "public use" rule applies, Square Enix overrules it and retains the copyright and the right to tell you to take it down.

This is correct. If something is copyrighted you cannot just use it anyway you want, no matter who owns the copyright. Even if you cite the original owner that does not give you the right to use it. There is fair use, but it's not as simple as "someone posted it on the internet so now I can use it however I want." There are various rules and legalities and you would want to be careful with how you use someone else's "creation" for a better word - be it a photo, artwork, etc. If someone decided to sue you for using something they posted you could lose that lawsuit, depending on how or why you were using it.

If any of those options you listed didn't impact others play the I see no reason for them to not be implimented as well.

For someone claiming this to be a "sad waste of time" you sure don't seem to mind participating in it.

Then perhaps an MMO isn't for you.

It's almost shameful to admit it, but I've played various MMOs over the years right back to the likes of Ultima Online, Graal, Everquest and the list goes on. I've had some incredible experiences and wonderful memories of these games going way back and in every case, a lot of these memories were shaped by the best and worst of people. MMOs live and die on their social merits and virtues, dilute that and you end up with a crummy long winded and ultimately underwhelming carrot chase with a rapidly vanishing end game.

You need the rough to make the smooth stand out. If you honestly think that an option to turn off an entire race or indeed all other players is even remotely acceptable in an MMO then I've got no further interest in this discussion with you.

Either you're trolling or you'd be better off in Skyrim/Breath of the Wild IMO.

And yeah, I have quite a lot of contempt for this topic as frankly, it goes against the diverse communities that successful MMOs are built on. I'd much rather be spending my time making constructive suggestions or throwing out my opinions on more worthwhile matters but alas, here I am in this bait thread.

That sort of mentality reads as spiteful gate keeping. By their very nature, MMO's appeal to a very broad audience of players. Not every bit of content is going to appeal to everybody. Not every feature is going to appeal to everybody. The development team are well aware of that fact and they frequently add ways in which players can tweak the game to their personal tastes.

The proposed suggestion does not affect you in any reasonable way. It's entirely client side. You don't have to use it yourself. You don't even have to like it - though it's a very troubling precedent to claim that anybody who doesn't like an element of the game has to go elsewhere. The use of 'diversity' is deceptive, too. Diversity and the 'live and let live' mentality are about a little give and a little take. Diversity isn't equal to a hive mind. It means many different players with many different opinions and tastes.

I can only imagine the backlash if I told the people who wanted the gender lock to be removed on equipment to just go and play a different game.

You literally want the option to remove other people's glams because you don't think some are good enough to grace your vision...and you accuse someone else of gatekeeping?

lol

Look, don't bring Kuja and Sephiroth into this!

Also that third pic cracked me up, is that fan art from somewhere?

Yet you're trying to gate keep people who oppose this suggestion. Hypocritical.

By their very nature, MMO's appeal to a very broad audience of players. Not every bit of content is going to appeal to everybody.

Exactly. So not every glamour is going to appeal to you. Get over it. If you're staring that hard at someone else's character, maybe there needs to be some self reflection.

The proposed suggestion does not affect you in any reasonable way.

And yet it's exclusion doesn't affect you in any reasonable way. It's just business as usual.

You don't even have to like it - though it's a very troubling precedent to claim that anybody who doesn't like an element of the game has to go elsewhere.

And yet you're telling other people who don't like it that their opinion is invalid and that they should approve of the inclusion of this feature?

I can only imagine the backlash if I told the people who wanted the gender lock to be removed on equipment to just go and play a different game.

They wouldn't because this game is one of the few MMO's that actually has a fair share of items that aren't gender locked. Point invalid.
