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

[Joven]

No Counter-argument XD
You just said "Just wear something else" which is basically telling someone what to do / a demand.
So....yeah.

And before you think to say "you weren't making a demand"
Then ill ask...did you really mean it? 'just wear something else' Or was it just some 'gotcha' to look clever?

I don't need a counter argument for such an idiotic retort.

Because FFXIV is an MMORPG, a social game, and how players choose to present their characters to other players is an extension of that social aspect of the game. To allow disabling of others glamours undermines the social aspect of the game. I stated this already, but you have yet to acknowledge the point.


Colour blind options do not disable a feature from the game, they are an accessibility feature. Also nice appeal to emotion. And it would impact my experience for knowing that my glamour is less valid. People like showing off their hard ground gear and other glamour, giving the ability to disable such detracts from the social aspect of the game.

Except, again, this doesn't disable anything.

If it really did nothing, then why are you asking for it?

Just because you, personally, wouldn't be bothered by other people not seeing your glamours, doesn't mean other people don't take issue with it. I feel like a broken record, but FFXIV is an MMORPG, and MMORPGs are inherently social games. Part of the enjoyment of playing an MMORPG for many players is getting to customize their character for themselves and others to see. Adding an option to disable this undermines the whole point of the glamour system, and character customization in general.

Because the way you're over blowing the idea of "disabling" glamours. I can already remove character names from my screen if I want to. To some their character's name is just as important as their outfit. I can mute their performances which could be seen as a form of expression just like glamours. I can even mute people outright from the chat. All of that and for some reason people draw the line at glamours.

You're over blowing having to see other player's glamours.

I feel like this is becoming a sunk-cost fallacy for you. Where you're just in too deep and there's no turning back now. It feels like there's a need to win coming from you. Just an observation.
