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

[Nariel]

As has been ruthlessly debating about throughout this thread, this is also a completely subjective viewpoint. It's moot to keep going on about it. Instead, why don't we discuss another issue that has been mentioned throughout this thread, albeit indirectly?

People keep saying dev time this and dev resources that, but it remains that Square Enix is, contrary to what the memes might indicate, an enormous company with lots of money and resources. Why must we have to sacrifice one potential feature in favor of another, when we could have both?

Let's discuss that, please.

Just because the compagny make a lot of money doesn't mean the team working on FFXIV get a bigger budget every time, shareholder does and we all know too well how its going in every game compagny nowaday.

Plus even if they get more money doesn't imply every aspect of the game get an upgrade, new staff need to be trained to the engine, project have to be endorsed to put mere example.

Under my limited understanding of how the system works, implementing this request would not be difficult due to the systems already existing, just not for other players

And under my limited understanding on how physics works, moving to the speed of light would not be difficult due to light already moving at this speed.

Your comment reads like you read the words "Under my limited understanding" and nothing else in my post. The fact is that the technology already exists in the game, your comment doesn't change that fact.

And could you care to explain how being able to switch predefined gear appeareance on our character mean dev's can just put an option to switch off the displayed gear of every other character on your screen ? And by explain I mean can you actually expand on how the system work actualy, because all your example consist of are assuption based on surface observation, just like I can assume every star in the galaxy is the same because they more or like have the same color and size in the sky.

I mean, if somebody really wanted to, they could open up the 32-bit client in OllyDbg or something. Stare at the asm for long enough and you'll eventually map out what it all means.

But no, don't post about your results here if you try.
