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

[Krotoan]

Well, maybe people shouldn't play the games only to demand it changed to fit them against wishes of people who enjoy the game as is. *shrug

You mean like the hordes of people who asked for features and items that are now part of the game?


Like all those people? They should have just gone and played another game?

The people who wanted a marketboard. The people who wanted gender restrictions removed from as many glamour pieces as possible? The people who wanted NPC's to do dungeons with?

All these things that the community asked for and then we got.. . everyone should just be quiet and we should have played (I'll be charitable here) 2.0 style everything?

Entire point of glamour is to look good in front of others. They're selling glamour entirely on that premise for real money.

The POINT of glamour is to change the look of gear for your character to something YOU prefer so as not restrict your look to what's "good" gear.

It being for you, or the benefit of those around you is purely subjective. However if your motivation is that someone who DISLIKES what you chose HAS to see it.. I'm going to say that's probably not what was intended.

Many games sell cosmetics that other players never see or can choose not to see, but always the commonality is that the player can see what they've bought. It's for the players benefit, not a guarantee that everyone has to look at it.

It's a negative experience for me knowing there are players who would see me running around in the ugly current ilvl gear we have available right now. Like on my healer, build, my BiS pants are a long, puke green skirt. Also BiS is typically a combination of tomestone gear and raid gear, so wouldn't disabling glamour make most characters end up looking like nightmare clowns?

Please don't take this the wrong way, as I am not trying to be rude, though I understand it's an iffy topic.

What, if any, do you think causes you to need to feel seen? Why do you get anxious or upset that some faceless nobody who doesn't know who you are will continue not knowing who you are? The people who you are targetting; friends, fellow fashion enthusiasts, people within your social bubble, will all still interact with you the same as before.

Again, I'm not trying to undermine or minimize your feelings, but what is it about not being able to change what you cannot control that bothers you? Because at the end of the day, the people who do use a feature like this, to enhance their own gameplay and personal experience, already do not hold the same values as you. They already don't care and will not give you the validiation you are looking for, so what difference does it make.

I am ernestly asking, I'm not trying to attack. I would like to better understand what causes the distain for something like this.

I've played them most. Cloud, Squall, Tera, Zidane didn't spend the ENTIRE game fighting the forces of opposition in a string bikini with summer sunglasses. it makes your character look stupid. And I'd like the option to hide it. That way you can "Express yourself" all you want, but people who want a more final fantasy/serious experience don't have to look at ridiculous characters that don't make any sense.

The reason for Glamor is for people to express themselves seriosuly you want to take away peoples creativity not to mention all this information is grabbed from the server it isnt saved on your computer

[MegaOddly]

Why is it okay for you to play as a fat chocobo, but it's not okay for me to play with my teammates wearing lore-appropriate gear? Especially if it's only client-side (ie, it wouldn't make a difference for you either way)

Because the information for each player isnt stored client side.

It's not taking anything away.

The people who would have the feature on are people that didn't want to see your creativity in the first place. Is it really so important for you that every single person be able to see your new outfit, regardless of whether they wanted to or not? The people who share your views on glamour will still give you compliments if the outfit is good. The people who would be using the feature are the people who would have never given you any validation or comments on your glamour to begin with. What are you losing? Absolutely nothing. Your experience does not change one single iota.

Meanwhile, our experience changes greatly in that we can enable the feature if we so choose and don't need to have things forced upon us. I seriously don't understand the people arguing against this at all.

I love seeing players with terrible mixed glamour sets, with chaotic color choice.. it makes me laugh and smile..

[Remolia]

What next? People gonna ask an ability to hide other players? I prefer myself, that people are not going to see me at all, than see me in ugly default dungeon/raid/trials gear.
