Honey, modding is against the ToS and leads to bans. Lets not go down that rabbit hole, shall we?
Ofc people can mod their clients and I am sure Ifalna is half naked on some of them. That can't be helped.


Does it? You can control the physical representation but you cannot control what people think when they see it. No matter how carefully you craft, everyones actual perception is out of your control.
And that is precisely what makes role playing interesting. To see how people react to Ifalna (attire is just one part of that) and then start interacting in character. The point was never to control peoples perception. Influence it, sure but not control it.

The only "experience" it's infringing upon that I cannot seem to find a solution for is that people cannot seem to stand the fact that someone else might not HAVE to see them.
It also devalues any glamor because you never know whether someone else sees your carefully crafted glamor or [standard ugly armor I] which has been deemed puritan enough to satisfy the conservatives.

PS: the point of a discussion is not to convince the other party. It is the exchange of viewpoints. Let both parties draw their own conclusions from that.
