    Considering I remember you joining in BEFORE I stated my piece I'm thinking you're just kinda cherrypicking things to respond to.. but the gist is:
    Immersion is personal, it is not lore. If you are breaking my IMMERSION you are being incongruous with my own personal story and narrative I've made up in my mind. If you claim that something cannot possibly break that immersion you are claiming I don't know my own story. Claims of immersion breaking with odd/sexy/silly glamours are all valid and separate from LORE arguments. It's much easier to work a uniform for adventurers into a story than meeting someone in a pig head, bikini bottom and armored boots.

I said I KNOW because this is an un-debatable fact on how computers work and a ps4 is just a computer with a different operating system. Anything the server does whether its loading characters trees glamour w.e takes processing power. .
    If you add on to those processes it will either effect it in some way better or not.
    The added "processing" is minimal if the game works anything like most of the other MMO's out there if worst case scenario individual blacklists are used. There will be one more flag check if that person is on someones blacklist. However considering we both don't know for sure how the system works, using this argument isn't particularly compelling.

Plus all of this depends on how the glam option works if it replaces the code for the amour you are wearing it will read it as the glamour anyway. Like you literally just claimed idk how the system works don't take a full loop and start talking like you know how the system works. Their glamour system could work in multiple ways.
    I literally stated that this was if they used standards that other games used. You were the one who said you "KNOW".

The devs spend a lot of time creating the gear they put in the game (both gear and glamour) and if people are just going to block whole sets so they don't have to see it? I'm sorry but I have to say at that point this game may not be for you (general you). I HATE that phrase. I really do, but seriously if regular gear is going to offend someone's sensibilities then I don't know why that person would even be playing this game.
    For the hundreds of other aspects and pieces of gear that aren't weird/goofy/oversexed? I understand the sentiment but while glamouring is a lot of peoples "endgame" it is by no means everyones beat all end all, and everyone has personal tastes which may not align with even the developers (see male bunny suits) . We can choose what we wear and stay within those particular likes/dislikes and try and minimize the rest appearing on our screen.

Truly the importance of this subject and it's subsequent responses for it's inclusion are truly inspiring.
    It's nobodies biggest issue and even in the context of this thread people who support it admit they've gone this far without it and continuing isn't particularly difficult either. And if you wanna talk about decadent remember you are playing a video game, frittering time, money, and electricity away on something that accomplishes next to nothing other than increasing dopamine flow.
    This is nobodies "line in the sand" but it would be nice to have.
