Why are most players content with putting on generic glamour?

[Lewtskie]

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".

Allow me to answer this from the perspective of one of her own:

Quick, what's the first thing you see when you spot a character? Yeah, you're not going to spot anything you asked about before looking at what they're wearing. Also doesn't help either that miqo'te is still the most played race on practically any server and au'ra females use pretty much the exact same frame as the miqo'te female model.

Another thing that doesn't help either is that there are only so many hairstyles, facial features and so on and only a handful of ones that people prefer, so there's bound some duplicates in terms of style, further amplified by the sheer number of cat girls and the au'ra that almost look like them.

The last thing that would provide this perspective is that usually in MMORPGs with multiple race options, players are more inclined to see differences among characters of the same race like everything you listed. An miqo'te player is more inclined to spot finer differences among other miqo'te, whereas everyone else just sees catgirl #8172 and normally wouldn't spot those finer differences unless they actually took time to focus on those differences.

If you're not going to try and see the finer details then why makes such an uninformed boisterous claim that "They all look the same."? Attempt to justify it but all you're saying is "You all look the same from a distance and we're not really bothered enough to get a closer look. So we're sticking with we said before." Just shows you wanted to follow through with an initial biased opinion rather than consider what you just thought about in any sense.
