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

[Sairys]

People will always have reasons to not like something, but right now a common and actual reason backed pair of excuses for more varied and gender unlocked glamours are "role recognition" and "theme/feel/immersion" , both of which are absolutely eliminated by this option (in certain implementations). Always having someone complain is not a reason to not do something, you pick the things that are going to have the least or most inconsequential complaints.

The "theme/feel/immersion" arguments are actually eliminated by the current state of the game, the arguments have boiled down from claiming they're about being final fantasy wide, to just ffxiv, to not including special events, to only accepting what is seen as part of the MSQ. Once you've cut out so much the claim is still tenuous given Ryne's and the Exarchs outfits as part of Trusts, even "silly" is debatable given Thornmarch is part of the MSQ. The argument also requires ignoring levelling gear you get from dungeons that you have to go into as part of the MSQ lol.

The role recognition arguments are similarly tenuous, we're a game where basically nearly class has an iconic weapon and stance which makes everyone really identifiable, this is different from the issue GW2 had in pvp where, for example, seven of their nine classes can use a staff. There is the overlap in SCH/SMN and less with BLM/WHM, but the use case for it is PvP really and arguably you could just apply the PotD code and make everyone wield padjali weapons if it's an issue there.

Which is exactly what I said, for all we know the impact could be extremely minor. I'm of the mind it wouldn't be particularly devastating to the market. Would having more available counteract the reduction in market awareness?

The devs are creating the sort of glamour options we have already without a block. They have already created dresses for men, swimsuits, the "emperors new x" options, animal mascot style outfits. There's pieces that are mechanically armour that are just swimsuits plus some extra fabric.
So it's really "what more could they add?" and if there is stuff they could add because people can block it then... people are going to block it? which reduces how many people they're reaching through just what people see in game not just for the reason for the blocking but for all glamours the blocker might see and be tempted by.
