    It’s a moot point anyways, because in the grand scheme of things it would be way too much of a burden on the servers.

    And to those who say “it’ll only be client side it won’t affect anyone else.” You are wrong. Very wrong. Not on the morals, i could careless on morality because no one here or anywhere in this day and age really has a leg to stand on when it comes to morals, but on the technical side you are all wrong.

    This game has to decide what to render, so every character on every server on every data center would need two distinct models, one for those who haven’t chosen to ignore glamour, and those who have. That data has to come and go between each client and the server, to render everything. The amount of server strain would be insane.

    Especially when their are other priorities for server load requests. (Glamour dressers in housing, more inventory spaces, instanced housing, tackle box for fisher, breaking down data center walls, etc etc) are far more popular far more requested features.

    Yes I think you probably right on this. There are many other things I would rather they sort out with their servers - all you have in parenthesis - then try to implement this.

No matter how I look at it that is a tough spot for a GM.

    As I said may have gotten off lucky but I have done many things in this game that many have asked me to stop and nothing has ever happened to me because I do not think the fact of someone asking another person to stop in itself in terms of GM staff is enough reason to toss out a punhisment for. The GM staff seems big of evidence to take action.

    In itself I do not think following someone around is harrassment in itself, annoying yes, but harrassment I feel that is a stretch. Now following someone around parading in attire they have voiced to be in approval of that I could see as a harrassment. Without the attire aspect it just seems annoying, given the amount of info the GM had to go by.
    You probably did get off lucky. I'm sure people do get reported for following someone. i mean people report people for all kinds of things.

    If they function like mods, wouldn't the information be stored on your machine, so the server impact should be non existent or extremely minimal. I have dabbled with mods and I have never noticed any performance dips.

    Oh I get people get reported for a lot of different things, but the aspect of report means nothing if no action was taken. People are free to report another for whatever reason, but if no action is taken due to said report then the report seems moot at that point. Also in terms of harrassment SE does seem to be fairly heavy handied, I made a comment in game to another player and got a three day suspension. I just think in SE cases just because someone reported someone without any evidence it seems their hands are tied.

    Ah I get what you are saying. Yea that is also true. Maybe they reported you maybe they didn't. It does all depend if the GM thinks it's warranted or if they are having a day of "everyone is going to the gaol today!"
