Why are most players content with putting on generic glamour?

Nobody wears Gordias stuff anymore. Gonna run around with my Alexander minion and sing about sonic booms

I have like, 10 sets of Glamour, I just default to my Sky Pirate look because Manacutter is my favorite mount. Some folks are just happy with wearing the expensive or skimpy glamours, others take time in theirs. If they like it, why judge?

[Driavna]

Why care? Anyway, I more worried about character customization and would love to have something similar to Aion/Blade and Soul here, IMO is the only way for unique characters.

Every outfit I wear needs a Chocobo Mask. I like how you can only tell my character's emotion through hand gestures and nods during cutscenes.

I don't even glamour my gear. I wear with pride the original look of my gear, even if it looks bad. I think glamour is one of the worst things in MMOs, but I am a minority.

I'm still wearing the replica high allagan tank top. On the one hand, I used to cringe because I was the cookie cutter tank (although I don't see it so much these days for some reason), on the other hand, trying to get the a8s top requires finding 7 other half-decent people willing to learn dead content with me...

My partner uses the sky pirate set, which you don't see so much any more, at least on my server. I like it, but I'm poor af. She has lots of gil to spend on glams, so she inevitably looks a hell of a lot more on point than I do.

Well, a unique glamour requires a unique mind. That's pretty rare and frequently not even socially desired IRL - go ahead and be "unique" at your next job interview, see how it goes >_>

I'm more surprised how many people "are" actually trying to make something unique.

I completed patch 2.5.5 in full allagan replica fullplate with my helmet visible.

OP: People who play Miqo'te, Au Ra or Hyur don't do it for the sake of uniqueness.

Oh sweet jesus...a milfie lala goddess complete with glasses. Don't even care..Im turned on. Thankyou.


My perviness aside, think the OP was just making a general statement about the collective lack of diversity (ya, does kinda seem like 60% of people are just miqo's in girls dresses.) Personal taste is a factor ya.....but it DOES all kinda look the same.


...and now....im gonna go stare at those plump lala hips some more.

[Saccharin]

Half of my server rock the Uraeus coat glamour and the other half are the generic Miqote and au ra girls with the 'dancer girl' skimpy thavnarian outfits.

Don't you guys take a look at your character and think: "Gee I look like everyone else. Maybe I should try to farm for a drop so when I do glamour, at least I can appear more unique and not a copy/paste of everyone else."

But nope. People are perfectly happy making characters that look exactly like everyone else. I just don't get that.

There's a reason why popular things are popular: it appeals to more people. It's neither bad or good. People who avoid something just because it's popular have the issues.

I also think the glamor system needs an overhaul. This game has some great armor but due to the inventory system you can't keep it all. I was very disappointed that a wardrobe system was not being considered and really hope that they change their mind. When I see new gear I think that looks good but I dont have the space to keep it. The cynic in me doubts that as it puts retainer subs in jeopardy and they love to change us extra in this game.
