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

[Wavaryen]

Allow me to list a few of the canon, SquareEnix-created Squadron Recruit NPCs who may show up for your Grand Company squadron:

• Seserikku, a lalafell who shows up dressed in a snowman costume.
• Crilde, an elezen who shows up dressed as a reindeer.
• Raelthota, an elezen who shows up wearing basically underwear, greaves with weird hoof-like feet, and a half-mask over the lower half of her face.

You put this stuff in better words than I could. The immersion reason is just weird in the context of the game lore.

It's not weird. The game deliberately gives players the tools to avoid the weirder/sillier stuff. Hildibrand exists in his own little bubble, for instance. You can also dismiss the sillier squadron members outright and/or tweak their glamour to one's personal tastes. We're not asking to alter what players see on their screen. Just how they appear on our own. Which is already something we can tweak in various ways already.

While I would not go with unethical..well maybe if they explain it better why they see it like that. A bad idea is still a bad idea. More reasons not to do it than to do it. Being it is a social game after all.

It's not necessarily a social game. Please don't compel a play-style!
