    If we're going by the lore of the game...people who run around in ridiculous outfits are treated like complete imbeciles. You see Hildibrand treated as such. You see the elezen in a frog suit in Il Mheg treated as such. You see Oboro treated as such when he's made to wear Jacke's choice of attire during the Ninja quests. There's countless other examples strewn about too.

    In the more extreme cases, such as Hildibrand, the development team are well aware that such things are not the cup of tea for many players. Which is exactly why they're few and far between as well as often entirely optional. Players are often given the option to be as serious or silly as they like during the dialogue choices offered to them.

    Which is the key word. Choice.

    There's nothing wrong with giving players more choice to filter things to their liking.

    This is a waste of resources, move along.

    Whether or not it is a waste of resources is entirely up to the development team rather than either of us.

    The indicator is really your argument that players have the right to "choice" and editing what appears on their screen.

    People have put forward multiple different options for what would be displayed to them instead of the other players choice. Along side the claims this is about supporting player choice, all of those options would need to be implemented, because "choice".

    But let's not forget, other players also have a choice.
    Maybe other players find dull and unimaginative glamours boring, perhaps they just can't deal with the random mishmash of unglamoured armor, perhaps "for their immersion" they should be able to make it appear that everyone is wearing beach clothes in Costa Del Sol or rugged up in Coerthas.

    There are potentially as many choices to support as there are players.

    The most entertaining bit is the unqualified support for player choice in what appears on their screen realistically supports more "adult" choices as well lol.

    It's either this option or the character customization you always advocate for, because you probably can't have both. Their resources are spread thin enough as it is, Viera hair and hats, Hrothgar hair and hats. No Dancer and Gunbreaker primal weapons. Less dungeons per patch.

    Do you really think they'd allocate money and work hours, more importantly the money, for coders to code and programmers to program something as useless as this when other more pressing matters exist and would need their attention? When they'd probably need to implement multiple options, such as disable everyones' glamour, disable party members' glamour, disable others' glamour, and/or disable your own glamour.

    And as Sairys put it, what would you all even want them to change people's glamour to? Job relic armor? Race armor? Level 1 vendor armor? Or just flat out dispel their glamours?

    I mean nothing is stopping you from treating people who wear what you don't like any way you want. But you made my point for me. The game allows people to dress how they want. They get treated base off how they dress. So how you dress matters, and supports immersion. Thank you.

    So my immersion has to consist of looking at a bunch of basement dwellers in bikinis because you say so? Well... You don't pay my sub.
