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

[Krotoan]

All of the above directly undermines the whole point of character customization.
Replacing my character entirely? What the hell are you smoking... must be good, I want some too.

Does it? The whole point of character creation for me in any game is so I like how the character(s) look. It's nice when someone else sees those character and gives a compliment but I really couldn't care less what other people are seeing on their screen. What matters to me is if I like how it looks.

There was a poster who's biggest problem was that THEIR customized character was being misrepresented and if it could be replaced with a placeholder, something that could never be said to be their character, they wouldn't care if someone had that option. Different problems different solutions.
The only thing I'm "on" right now is empathy and problem solving. Trying to see the problem from the perspective of it's opponents and solving for their concerns.

It's a restiction in the sense that I lose control over how my character is displayed, yes. Doesn't matter whether I see it or not. I don't dress Ifalna a certain way because >I< want to see her that way, I also do it, so OTHERS see her the same way. It's a 50/50 split, I would say. YMMV.

If your demand is that you have control over MY visuals on my computer then I have a problem. I don't play this game so that I'm at the mercy of everyone else who wishes to play when it comes to the environment. Sure since it's multiplayer I have to deal with differing playstyles and values when it comes to actual game mechanics like dungeons and marketboard prices, but I should not have to tolerate someone plastering their character in something obtuse or displeasing when the properties of a virtual world allow for concessions to be made.

So we come to the crux of your problem, you cannot stand even the idea that somewhere, someone MIGHT not be seeing your personal choice of glamours.
Why? If someone does not wish to see your particular choice of digital representation and were they allowed to criticize you without censor would immediately start spouting negatives, why must you still be on their screen? There is no physical law to be followed, this is a digital space and can make the impossible possible: They'll see what they want (or not see you at all) and you see what you want. They aren't causing ANY detriment to your experience except the THOUGHT of maybe not everyone in the world has to see what you've done.

WHY do you care that someone who doesn't want to see you, HAS to see you?

Eh not just morally, no. As I already stated: I too find bikini tanks immersion breaking and nonsensical. Still I would not ask for a filter function because, to be frank: it is not my place to ask such a thing. Many people clearly enjoy the freedom and they should continue to do so. After all: it's just a game.

Now about that filter for ugly real life "outfits" ....

It is always your place to expect or ask of a video game or virtual experience you are paying for and doing for the purpose of entertainment to allow for the best personal experience possible. It IS just a game and people saying that a request to customize that game experience with no noticeable effect to other players is literal bigotry is nonsensical. Nobody is calling any significant part of your actual life a bad choice or that you cannot do or be anything you want as a REAL person. At worst they are saying they do not wish to invite your personal entertainment choices into their homes.


and while your last line is a joke, it's the entire point of most of my arguments that trying to parallel or compare any part of this request to a real life counterpart is a non-sequitur. Real life has it's own rules and laws, natural and otherwise that affect the way we deal with others and ourselves. Carrying those same expectations into virtual space doesn't follow.
