"Glamour is the End Game"...What do you feel when you hear that?

[Magis]

I feel a huge lack of motivation to do anything really. I unsubbed for the first time a month or two back and resubbed for this patch. After clearing the MSQ and the freebie story from Midas.... I have no real motivation to do anything else. Law farming makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out and what's the point of raiding really? Story is given, gear is worthless. They didn't change the way they did gear for Midas right? It's the same gear but better stats and dyable? Or shiny? So even from a glamour angle... you can just do easy Alex and never have to step foot in Savage. I'm not even bothering with the new relic cause it will be outdated next patch for another BS grind that will outdate it again (coming from someone who built their Zeta before HW nerfs).

Only reason I stay subbed is because of FC mates and friends but after the first blow... dunno how long I'll stay this patch.

And for glamour: I have one set that I "set" into, and pretty much keep. I don't need 500 different glamour sets for my character. Grats to those who enjoy it I guess, you'll have a lot of fun for a long time.

Oh, I most certainly was just kidding. I was actually referring to a group of friends that I have over here on Balmung more so then I was the server as an entirety. I apologize if my statement has made you cringe at all

No cringing here, I knew you were joking. No worries at all.

It's more like what Vivi said and I agree with them. I personally don't care what other people wear. Wear whatever makes you feel like a snowflake, but deep down; I really don't care that you choose that as your glamour. You could make all of the arguments about being an extension of yourself that some people have used. I personally give so little about my own glamour, that my glamour snowflake sets is literally just my mix matched body pieces of my newest strongest piece of gear therefore making me a circus clown. Since I don't glamour at all, I highly doubt you'll see very many people with my exact appearance. Perhaps gear, but I assure you, they have it glamoured while I do not.

I only care about other folks glamour if I see something I want to copy, or if they are pleased with their glamour and want to show it off. It takes minimal effort to give a compliment.

Personally, I change up glamour a fair bit, I spent time making a character to play the game with. I had used a very similar character in another game that I played into the ground (almost literally), and I had become so attached to my character, I brought her with me. She's a nekomimi version of KOS-MOS, so she has to be pretty of course, I like to give her glamours that are in harmony with that. Sometimes it means a Thavnairian Bustier sometimes it means armor, sometimes it means a bikini (steel or otherwise).

I always think that the best retort when someone makes a disparaging comment about glamours (and one that will get people to leave you alone...) is;

"It's my doll! I'll dress my dollieh how I like!"

Oh yes, I like to challenge people's perceptions and observe their reaction.

Addressing the seriousness of the situation though and how glamour really makes me feel; I personally feel that people care too much for glamour in a game and hold more value to it then I personally deem it worthy. Although, since it is just a game, everyone is entitled to playing it however they enjoy it; as I am in my own way. If glamour is important to you, great! If not; oh well. Just like how PvP and crafting aren't important to some individuals in the game, believe it or not, there's some that feel the same about glamour to. Hence, for sake of the argument of this thread; glamour is not my end game.

I'd enjoy glamouring my character(s) whether I was focused on End-game, PVP or whatever else. I have such a broad focus in the game now, that Glamour is kind of like the furniture now, it's there, and every now and again I rearrange the furniture to keep things fresh.

As I said at the start, absolutely no offense was taken, I knew you were not being serious.

The problem is the longevity of the content, they can make as much content as they want if it's useless in a week then it wasn't worth creating.

The game has tons of content, dungeons, zones, but is any of it worth doing? not really.

Login, daily, logout, there has to be more effort involved in an MMO.

Goes in one ear and out the other.

I know people are joking when they say that. But at the same time, many people farm content for glamours.

It's a lot like the whole "PC master race" mentality.

A lot of us are aware that people are joking when they say it, but deep inside, they actually mean it while making it come across like they're only joking. The same could be said with glamours to.

I don't think anyone is joking when they say it. PC's are clearly better.

Some people have no interest in the actual endgame content, at least not directly (farming it for a new look maybe). A lot of people just like to socialize and look good. I personally don't understand it, but it doesn't have any effect on me.

We all know they're clearly better. The problem is some people take the bragging of PC master race a little too far, to the extreme that it offensively belittles anyone on a console.

For example, the minds of PC players will work like this:

Today it's PS3 limitations.

Tomorrow it'll be PS4 limitations.

In a month, it'll be Console limitations.

[Though this kind of talk will shift the conversation into an entirely different topic, I was only trying to make a comparison.]

[Vivi_Bushido]

I fail to pick up the comparison you were trying to make.

Never mind then. Just ignore my post. lol

haha well, i was more adding to your post in that I am joking about it, but also think it's true

Personally, I had a PS4, and soon realized that - guess what, my PC is far superior to my PS4, I can use my dualshock 4 controller on it, I can plug my PC into my TV, I don't pay for online play and games are cheaper (yay steam). So wait, why do I have a ps4 again? Answer: No reason. I immediately sold it and haven't regretted it at all.
