    Why should a person dress themselves in order to please someone else? Also there is absolutely no guarantee that any glam you create is something everyone would like, even if it is lore appropriate.

    I'm sure if glam removal comes to the game some people would complain that how players look without glams isn't something they find pleasing to the eye. Many people who support glam removal have different ideas as to how players should look without glams. Personal taste is frankly way too subjective for any dev team to create a solution that would equally please everyone. But at the very least the devs can create the game in such a way that players can tailor their own characters to their own taste.

    I never said, people can wear whatever they want.

    I'm sorry to say, but you are really grasping at straws here. Glamour removal is just glamour removal. That is what the OP asked. An option/toggle just like the "Hide other people battle effects". I have not seen anyone complain about the hide battle effects option. Because it is just that. If you like glamours it's on by default. Don't like glamours? Just turn them off. Simple as that. It doesn't have to be complicated.

    At most it should be as complicated as the hide battle effects option (party/alliance/others, maybe friends).

    People will always have different opinions on implementation and that's fine. What is not fine is attacking people and calling them bigots (not that has any meaning nowdays on the internet, it's more like an affirmation that you are a normal person than an insult) for asking for a perfect reasonable request just because you don't like it or because it doesn't fit your agenda.

    If you have a reasonable of why it shouldn't be added you can also add it but you can't complain if people call you out on it if doesn't seem reasonable. For example you just said that they shouldn't add it because some people in the comments have different opinions on how it should be implemented, while the vast majority in support of the feature just want a toggle to turn off glamours. It doesn't make sense as a reason for not adding the feature.

    Being able to turn down battle effects is to aid gaming rig performance and to make it easier for players to spot things in combat that could kill them. A glam can't obstruct your vision in combat to the point that it could get you killed.

    And if your gaming rig needs glam removal to perform better...honestly that wouldn't be enough to improve things. Battle effects are significantly more taxing on hardware than clothing. I have a great pc and sometimes in certain fights my fps can drop (usually in a boss's ultimate attack) but on days when a new patch comes out and the entire server is sitting on top of msq npcs my performance doesn't drop in any noticeable way.

    If your rig has difficulty performing well due to glams, then it would suffer tremendously in combat even with battle effects low.

    EDIT: as for audio options, again players can turn down the music and increase the audio of combat so they can hear audio cues for boss abilities better.

    What if they added options for other character model graphics, and the lowest option changes everyone into a unrecognizable blur (except yourself). TBH I would actually kind of like that for immersion purposes. In all instances you're actually supposed to be solo Warrior of Light kicking everyones ass on your own. If you could change other players into a blur, it could feel perhaps like they are mere incantations casted by you and not real. Make this option only apply to other players and not npc's.

    I'm guessing however this might be difficult to implement with current engine. There isn't even an option to alter character model graphics in general.
