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

[Cithaerias_pyropina]

I've explained a number of times throughout the thread. The block function can be used for any reason whatsoever. Players have the luxury of freedom on that front. If someone is spamming chat with emotes or random nonsense they can toggle the block function on for that player. On the other hand, they could also opt to do it for no reason whatsoever and block players who they have never even interacted with.

Last and final post in this thread.

The block function is here to prevent someone from harassing someone to no end, which can drive the person being harassed to leave the game entirely or worse. It is the quintessential equivalent to getting a restraining order.

Should the block function be removed because it supposedly infringes upon the rights of the players who are blocked for no discernible reason?

All I can do is laugh at this, really? This is the probably the most inane thing I have ever read in these forums. Does getting a restraining order against someone harassing you in real life infringe upon their rights? If so then I guess getting restraining orders shouldn't be possible. Imagine the ramifications of that, someone being harassed and being unable to do anything about it legally would then turn to illegal solutions or worse. Would be a fantastic world to live in right?

Hence why the blacklist and restraining orders exist: to prevent bad scenarios from ever having the chance to occur.

Client side tweaks are client side tweaks. It really has no bearing on other players as they're highly likely to never be aware that their glamour is being blocked and even if they are, they have no business dictating how other players tweak the game to their liking.

This option is the same as telling people what they can and cannot wear, even if this is just client-side the fact remains, and you have no business doing that.

Ultimately I'm all about player choice. That means I'm fine with people asking for glamour options to be expanded. Though it also means that I'm all for people having the choice to opt out. I don't think there's anything particularly unfair or hypocritical about it. Yet for some reason many of those seeking to have the development team expand glamour options seem to want to 'get back' at players who do not like such things themselves. Which is all very strange to me!

Expanding glamour options increases the likelihood for people to come back to the game thus increasing profit and revenue.

This is in totality, especially from a business standpoint, a waste of dev time and money. Dev time and money which could be better spent creating new emotes, glamours or content in general which drives further profit and revenue. Or fixing the shoddy net-code holding the game back from massive QoL changes like being able to use glamour plates anywhere, increasing inventory space, using items while crafting or being able to accept party invites while talking to your retainers.

This option won't do anything, direct or indirect, to increase profits or revenue. It doesn't need to be added. Can it be added? Probably. Is it a total waste of time for something, that doesn't do anything for the greater good of the game, like this to be added? Yes.

It's not some emote people can buy or subscribe back to the game to get and play around with. It's not new content for people to subscribe back to the game for. It's not even a QoL feature that would physically, physically as in more inventory space or being able to accept invites while talking to your retainers, increase the experience of the game for anyone but those complaining about "offensive" glamour.
