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

[Iscah]

1) I do understand that is a fear, and I have ran into people that got upset over something I have said about their character, but boils for me why should only one side have the power to control over things that they feel are part of their extensive--it terms of personal beliefs or what have you.

The thing is, only one side can have the overriding power to control things. Currently that is the player, who has control of how their character is presented. If you give that power to the viewer instead, the player no longer has that control (except as a "viewer" of their own character).

Many of the posts have blurred together have have anyone for the idea said that they strictly want to able to put people in "reveling" clothing?

Nobody has said they want to use it for this purpose (and I doubt they'd admit to it if they did) - rather, it's a concern from those of us who don't want it.

Disabling glamours to reveal the underlying gear would almost always put my character in a more revealing outfit than what I've chosen to wear. So would reverting to artifact gear, which usually puts female mages in miniskirts.

I don't want my character seen wearing that. I've picked glamours to avoid it, and I don't want anyone turning it off because they don't like some other people's glamour.

More generally speaking, there would certainly be a risk of people doing it deliberately to harass others - whether it was a global setting or whether they could "blacklist" someone for the specific purpose of turning off their glamour and replacing it with the underlying revealing gear.

(And yes, I'm sure it can already be done with mods - but it's against the rules and not something they can do openly with tools handed to them by the creators of the game.)

Several of the (many) suggested implementations of glamour removal have involved replacing the character with the default character for their race/background/gender combination. I.e., instead of seeing my character in-game, you would see the default female Highlander character. In several cases—again, see my character—this would be literal whitewashing, and that may be where the objection is being pulled from.

I think I may have been the first to raise that idea, and I do have to apologise for not thinking of it in terms of whitewashing - but I did intend it as an illustration of just how much I don't want people to be able to change what my character is wearing, and not as a solution. I don't really like the idea either, I just don't-like it less.
