Why are most players content with putting on generic glamour?

[Nirokun]

Errhm... Looking at someone's Lodestone is not a way to know someone's style... People have more than one job <.<

I have BRD, DRK and SMN and only SMN(the one that shows on the Lodestone) has a dress.

Also, you completely ignored the point of her post in favor of useless picking on the glamour. Anyone can come and say your glamour sucks. Keep that in mind.

I've been googling ppl's names just to see their current glamour. Given that I can only see the one glamour, it's really all I have to go on, and I thought it was kind of hypocritical to have that kind of character/glamour and say there are no options unless all gear is unlocked for glamour purposes. Being a catgirl in a dress set with a flower in her hair, all basically dyed the same color, does not a fashionista make.

As far as someone saying my glamour sucks, it's their opinion, but I never said I was dissatisfied with the system and complained about lack of options. My first post in the thread was about player's, as described by the OP, lack of creativity. I never complained about the limitations, and even posted a picture of my glamour that I'm proud of wearing.

That was sort of her point. Also, she has the punching gloves so she's got a good sense of taste.

I also logged out in matched gear all the same colour so feel free to dismiss my fashion sense too

I like punching gloves, but I find them incongruous with the outfit. There's no appearance of gold on the gloves anywhere else in the outfit, and the same color is on everything. I talked about these things in my original post in the thread.

As far as your glamour, I'm casting a dismissive glare. Same color on everything, oversaturation. (Again, in my original post.)

That's the point? There isn't much I can really wear that I like on my tank? (Well, besides my China Dress, which I love to death).

There are things I'd like to change, like wearing the booties that casters can wear, and even the new Garo body piece and skirt for the healers on my tank, but more than likely, I won't be able to, cause it's all most likely restricted to healer classes and jobs.

How can I set the pace, or break away from the crowd, if I am just as restricted as said crowd?

P.S: I know you weren't trying to be rude and I understand xD

I'm not saying you should change your personal tastes, a lot of people like the same thing (hi chocolate!). I don't know how, as a tank, you don't like anything other than the Chinese dress. I feel like tanks have a lot of options, more so than mages (hi, I'm a mage), and yet so many female characters show the most skin possible and/or wear dresses whenever possible.

I don't know how you're supposed to break away from the crowd when you, like many (many!) others, like the same old thing (which is dress glamours). If ever there is a new dress, it will be instantly popular by catgirls who will dye it white/black/pink, then dye the rest of their gear/hair to match to me supremely matchy-matchy and go afk in Idyllshire.

And hey, not everyone needs to break the mold. Diamond engagement rings are popular, and most women wear those. Do I find them boring? Absolutely, but I'm sure they would look at my purple sapphire with alexandrite halo in white gold (small, colored stone custom jeweler <3) and not even see it as an engagement ring because societal standards. And you better believe that I'm smug about my ring and not falling into the diamond gang.

You are just full of contradictions tbh... So people lacking creativity is a bad thing and is enough to turn you nose up at? You wanna be a special snowflake (in your own mind) coz it makes you feel important? It's either one or the other.

You cannot force creativity on people anyway, it's a trait just like intelligence is.. Some people have bundles, some have none and most are middling between. Smugness over thinking alot of people liking one thing and you wanting to "break the mold" coz you are so special points out an character flaw I find far more lacking than a percieved lack of creativity.

Ohh you like a popular video game? Why arn't you writing a book or painting a masterpiece? That must hurt your hipster sensibilities... Or does this rule only extend to other people and what you personally do and do not like? :P

Cool, that's exactly what I was going for with this one random set.

The other girl was abruptly criticised for having highlights which matched her dress (who cares?) then also for gloves which didn't match it, despite making a cute combo akin to something you might see in a crazy kung fu film.

Your pride and joy set has to be mismatched because the main component isn't part of a set and you understandably want to show it off given its rarity, but it's not to my taste at all and playing a maximum height elezen if I dressed that way I would look like I was on my way to audition for the circus, which is certainly a valid aesthetic choice but not one I enjoy making. We have all been through having mismatched gorgeous items we have to wrangle into a coherent set before. It doesn't make taking the easy route to rock a particular style bad.

You are a catgirl tank in a dress. Gear is all dyed the same color. Hair is also partly dyed the same color. Given more options, I really don't think you'd change. I'm not trying to be rude, but you're not exactly trying to break away from the crowd yourself.

Was this really a question someone had to wonder about and actually ask on a forum?

Why not ask why people like the color blue instead of smokey brown because smokey brown is so much more different?

I mean really?

[Aerish]

can we turn this topic into, describe the lack of style of the previous person ?

I do run into painfully generic cat girls here and there, but at the very least the ones I know look much more unique in that respect. I see most players more as like npc's anyways so I don't really care.
I do see fun glamours here and there though. Sometimes simple is good, sometimes people make some crazy glamours and sometimes you see 4 dps who are clearly friends using the same set of glamours which is kind of funny in a good way.
The funny thing is that using the good ole armor sets shown in class concept arts and such are incredibly rare and always stand out. Like how many black mages wear the iconic (that's proper iconic, not ubisoft iconic) black mage set? VERY few and huge props to those that do even if its for a while.

I'd have a much more varied wardrobe if we had more "not class restricted", "not dresses", "not long tunics", "not long coats", "not long capes", "not dangling bits of fabric", "not bulky/poofy", "not overly embellished", options. Until that happens I'll wear what few things aren't "class restricted", "dresses", "long tunics", "long coats", "long capes", "dangling bits of fabric", bulky/poofy", "overly embellished". Which means I'll be wearing lvl 1 all class glamour gear more often than not.
