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

[Joven]

FFXIV is an MMORPG, which a large part of the point of an MMORPG is the social aspects. The glamour system adds value to the social aspect of the game by giving players ways to better express themselves through their characters. SE is very aware of this, it's the whole reason why Adventure plates and Instant Portraits were even added to the game, as they're yet another way for players to express themselves and better leverage the social aspect of the game.

You're either intentionally or unintentionally missing the part that it would be entirely optional and only affect those who use it. At this point I would say it's intentional. Anyone who wishes to glamour and anyone who wishes to see those glamours can still do so at their leisure. It doesn't remove or limit social interaction in any capacity. It's no different than people who soley use the Trust system to run content. Should they not get to play because they don't want to be social?

You have the option to not get upset about something unimportant, or to just play something different that better caters to your delicate sensibilities and narrow definition of 'appropriate aesthetics'.

If it's so unimportant then why are you getting upset at the idea of someone using it?

Nice ad hominem thrown in there. I honestly really just kind of feel bad for you that other players choosing how their characters look is so distressing. Maybe MMORPGs aren't your thing.

Nice ego telling others what is or isn't their thing. If you didn't want attention then the idea of someone not wanting to see your glamour wouldn't be so distressing.
