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

[Kolaina]

I'm not ignoring it, I just think that people need to learn how to cope better.

'But people disabling your glamour doesn't effect you!'

Uh-huh, not unlike you seeing other people's glamours you dislike doesn't really effect you in any more or less of a meaningful and substantive way than players knowing their glamours aren't being seen by other players. Both positions are a matter of personal opinion, and neither are more or less valid than the other.

Ok let’s break this down so you understand.

1. It’s already been said that for some people this is immersion breaking. That is an effect on someone else

2. Someone having this feature doesn’t turn off your glamour to you. You would be oblivious to the fact they are or are not using it. Therefor this has no effect on those in glamour

3. Neither 1 nor 2 are opinion. Those are facts

FFXIV draws from all prior installments of Final Fantasy, which includes more modern settings and lighthearted aesthetics, as well as anything new SE wishes to add to the game. Anything SE decides to include in the game fits within the realm of the game's canon, because SE decides what is canon, not you, not me, not anyone else. Ergo, everything you can glamour in the game is lore appropriate, whether you like it or not. Other player's glamours are not immersion breaking, you're just overly picky about what you personally find acceptable.

Furthermore, adding an option to disable other player's glamours runs contrary to the social aspect of the game. I can't speak to the exact reasons why they were added, but I can surmise that the reason the glamour system, and by extension adventure plates and instant portraits, exist is to leverage the social aspect of the game. Giving players avenues to express themselves to other players by personalizing their characters is a fairly core feature to many MMORPGs with regards to keeping players better engaged. Adding an option to disable other player's glamours would invalidate the purpose of the aforementioned features and detract from the overall game.
