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

[Vahlnir]

Considering that Square Enix's answer as to why we can't have more inventory space has been concerns about the server load this would present, I would say, quite literally, "just about anything else," because I'm almost certain that would be a cited reason as to why this can't happen.

Even if you won't agree that the server load could possibly be an issue for them (despite various requests not being doable due to their concerns with the server load), Square Enix has very unique "problems" to work through when it comes to FFXIV and I don't believe trying to find a way to allow players to manually mess with the visuals specifically for other players (while somehow unaffecting themselves, as would seem to be the request) is going to be the wisest use of their time.
It also wouldn't just be one team to work on this, as someone had previously suggested. Multiple teams would have to make adjustments if this were to work.

Honestly, they only use "but muh servers!" when it suits them. They have shown on more than one occasion that they can make things happen if they want to, sometimes making us pay extra for it.

That's correct. It's an excuse that has worn thin at this point. WoW is a much older game and has repeatedly upgraded its servers and overcome many limitations in order to add key features and meet player demand. For a time, Blizzard did try to hide behind the same excuses - but players, rightly, continued to push and call them out.

There's some interesting contradictions to be found, too. The Chinese and Korean servers, apparently, have many more housing wards available to players. Whereas the Japanese, North American and European servers are lagging behind.
