It's time (Option to Hide other players Glamour)

[Gula]

Go find it for yourself. I am not here at your beck and call. If you're not familiar with how these outfits are viewed, it is not my problem.

I'm sorry you seem to have mistyped "I don't have any proof and am making false claims to prove a personal point."

[Cithaerias_pyropina]

I doubt you know much of anything, but frankly, it is none of your business in any case. I suggest you stay focused on the topic at this point.

I know that you and Theodric are two peas in a pod.

[SilverObi]

Got a genuine question, why do you never post on your main character? Theodric over there gets on everyone else about not posting on theirs, what makes you the exclusion? I already know the answer, but please explain to the masses.

Yeah Lauront explain how this hinted nebulous involvement with another poster has any bearing on your or their arguments presented thus far! The masses must know!
Thread's fallen apart this badly huh? Neat.

[Lauront]

In any case, I am not in the habit of responding to demands from others to provide the proof to make someone else's claim stack up. If one wishes to claim that some gaming "journalism" outfits blowing hot air will have any real negative effect on the game sales, when so far it has not put a dent in this game's success even when they took controversial decisions to not include the "missing genders", the burden is on them to provide that evidence, and not me. I am simply familiar with how poorly received they are in gamer communities.

How do you know he's on an alt?

We're rather tightly linked, yes. I'm not at all sure what the relevance of that is meant to be in the context of the thread, though. If you're trying to somehow link it my earlier question in relation to asking another poster if their character they were posting on was in fact their main character...I know who Lauront is and who he plays in-game, so I have no need of asking him whether or not he is posting on an alt. It's also entirely at someone's discretion as to whether or not they answer such lines of questioning in the first place.

I would've thought that was all rather obvious, though given that you're opting to bring it up now I suppose it is a sign that you have exhausted lines of debate. Which isn't too surprising given that you have been unable to stick with taking your leave of the thread as originally stated.

Lauront posts about level 80 content despite the character linked in the forum profile having only WAR at 60, SAM at 50, and WHM at 30. Either they haven’t actually seen any later content they post about, or the character linked is an alt. That part’s not hard to figure.

Now, I have no clue why posting on an alt or a main character is particularly relevant to whether or not someone’s opinion on glamour holds weight or not, so I think this whole digression is weird. But it takes all of however long the Lodestone character page takes to load to draw the conclusion that it’s an alt character linked there.

But did they actually go through unsubbing? Probably not.

Doesn't matter. The team still went through with implementation even with the explicit threat of losing players. This shows that they're willing to implement something if it has merit regardless of possible backlash.

[Sebazy]

I doubt that is a concern that the development team have. The feature wouldn't be considered even remotely controversial to most people - especially with it being a client side option.

Not at all controversial > page 132

Ok =(

Negative press is more powerful than positive press.

Wouldn't that make negative press sometimes more appealing to companies than positive press? Isn't there a saying "all press is good press"? Or is this only applicable to politicians? In this case in particular I think that if there were powerful negative press with implementation of this option, there will also be a lot of discussion because people's opinion will for sure differ from it (as seen in this thread) --> even more publicity. Gaming journalists are far from being respected figures in gaming communities so I think it would be free publicity for FFXIV and draw in more players in the end.

Will end up with net positive even if some people leave the game because of this option (highly doubt there will be many).
