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

[Theodric]

I doubt it'd be a huge strain on resources or development time, especially due to it being a feature that can already be toggled on during certain quests. Even if it were an issue due to spaghetti code, the development team have been gradually going back and adjusting that code over time to make it easier to work with. Plus we always get quality of life changes in each new content patch, so I could see it being something implemented at some point in the future.

I'd rather have the devs answer in those terms, if it's the case, in any case. People don't need to answer the question for them and rule it out prematurely.

"It is possible, we can consider it."

There. That will be your answer. It's a parent telling their kids "I'll think about it."

It's not a yes, not a no. Any one over the age of 10 knows it's a "no" and anyone optimistic can consider it a possibility in 4-5 years. Official response is given, and then there will be those who are upset it's not a bold "yes" and will continue to complain in a separate thread for 50 pages.

I'm from the future, trust me.

Addicted to the game, not like you'll unsub if this isn't added. So why would the devs add something of no consequence.

...?

I'm not sure what you're getting at. If the game reaches a point where it stops being appealing to me, I'll take my leave of it. I've also never stated that this proposed feature is something that is a make or break situation for me. It'd be a nice convenience to have since I like the idea of players having additional options to make their game experience more to their liking. Furthermore just because it isn't an appealing feature for you it doesn't mean it is of no consequence to everybody else.

That aside, didn't you state a few pages back that you would be making your 'last post' in this thread or am I thinking of someone else? Oh, wait...what was it you were saying about addiction?

Seeing as they have actually given more affirmative/negative answers than that in the past, it is up in the air whether it would fall in the middle of a perpetual "maybe". But when it comes to the question of how feasible it is in resource terms, I'd rather get an answer from them first, as opposed to people claiming it can't be done, when in reality, we don't know that.

This could apply to quite a few additions to the game that have been implemented eventually and even some that people said they'd unsub if it did get implemented which did eventually get put in. .

But did they actually go through unsubbing? Probably not.

I did say it would be my last post, but I find it too joyous not to post. Especially when this thread is a futile effort.

There's nothing suggesting that it's futile. Though each to their own, I guess. Personally I'm very much in favour of the approach of agreeing to disagree on such matters.

If nothing else, I appreciate your efforts to keep the thread active and visible.

Gotta keep them posts coming, or else I wouldn't have anything interesting to read .

Still not likely to happen though, this topic is far too controversial. Press could potentially have a field day if this was added, they will find a way to twist it around into a negative light. "Final Fantasy 14 adds an option for players to disable other players glamour. Are the devs quashing individual freedom of expression?" And I'm almost certain the devs would like to avoid that at all costs.
