Why are most players content with putting on generic glamour?

There's a reason those glamours are common though... and it's not because all those people are "sheep" or "unoriginal" or "lacking creativity". For most its because the alternatives suck (in their opinion).

I think that line of thought is fair, your posts at least explain why you dislike a lot of what's available due to multiple criteria. Maybe it's a racial difference, I think Lalafell look good in most things, either because it's cute, or spunky, or some other reason. That's probably personal bias.

I think maybe you could've been more clear about that, rather than insulting a person's tastes because of glam color. Well, maybe you didn't feel you were being rude, but your point sort of got drowned out from the blunt disrespect thrown at her face lol.

I get the feeling you were looking to be offended, even when I wrote, "I'm not trying to be rude". The person I was talking to wasn't even offended. I explained a rational point, about wearing common gear, all/mostly-all dyed one-color, and how it wasn't anything unusual. I had previously volunteered my own glamour and thought process behind it, which differs from the people described in the thread topic. Remember the thread topic? About people wearing similar gear? That's what we were talking about. To bring THE TOPIC up in THE THREAD is not somehow out of line, using an example is not out of line.

Your entire topic is self-defeating. You keep running this whole thing about levels of creativity and how you like to be all colorful and somehow you think that makes you more creative, but this entire thread was just some bloated attempt at you putting your opinion out there. There is no nothing gained from this attempt at discussion. "Hey, why do people wear the same thing." "Because they wear what they like." That's the core of your initial attempt at a discussion. Underlying that is a very passive jab at people who's tastes obviously differ from yours.

In your OP you claim all you see are generic miqo and aura wearing the coat or the thavnarian set. This immediately is you shutting down them all because of heavy biased on a very apparent and popular image. What facial options did they have? Make-up or tattoos? Hairstyle? Colors? Accessories? What particular shows are they wearing that compliment or set them apart?

You see the coat or the thavnarian top and you jump straight to "Hey they are all the same, completely cookie cutter, no individuality or creativity." Except most of the significant creativity comes in the small and subtle differences each of them have while still wearing what they enjoy.

All you boast about is how different you are and your different outfits that are different. While you have not so openly shamed anyone for not being different it's all in how you present your words rather than the words themselves, and you are so very clearly undermining people who are not "on your creative level".

Are you talking to me?? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm getting the sense that you're assuming I created the topic (blending parts of the topic with parts of my posts as if they were the same person), I did not. It looks like you assume I started the topic, which is kind of funny because you go on a tirade about not paying attention to details.

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.

"Who cares?" I was responding to the topic using an example. I only talked about the gloves because you brought it up.

I can only assume, when you talk about my glamour, that the "main component" is the coat (the following will go off of this assumption). It is, in fact, part of a set (I don't have the crown that is part of the set, that's top 10 on data center only, the headgear in the photo was from the set I was using at the time, I just didn't take it off when I snapped the picture).



If you don't like my glamour, that's fine because I think I look like an adorable Prince of Persia. It fits my personal standards (outlined) for glamour, and accentuates my eyes/hair/hairband.

Edit: Adding the glamour to contrast with the original set, and a clarification after re-reading my post (about my headgear in the first photo).

Whoa, whoa, easy. How about we look at my comment as a peaceful suggestion before you go caps on me, yeah? I only pointed out why people weren't seeing your point as clearly as you wanted them to. No need to start a fight over nothing. I wasn't saying your opinion or point wasn't valid. Only that your words had a bite to them, whether you admit it or not.
