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

[Lauront]

Easy - just add an option so that all other players appear in those Amaurotine robes and masks...

[Theodric]

You can. No one says you can't. You just can't demand that of everyone else because you're uncomfortable with their decisions in an MMO. Sorry.

Kinda like life.

...?

No options would be taken away from you. If you want to glamour your character in a specific outfit, nothing is preventing that from happening in the context of this suggestion. It just so happens that if people don't want to see a specific glamour set for whatever reason, they'd be able to prevent it from showing on their screen.

It's the most efficient and fair compromise all around.

You have no right to alter the way other players display themselves to you. They chose to be seen in a certain way, and that is the way everyone should see them.

People often express themselves through glams and if you don't like their expression, tough poop!

Having to render the same characters wearing two different sets of equipment at the same time for people in the same area who do or don't have the option turned on would give the server hamsters a heart attack. Please, think of the poor hamsters.

you wouldnt want a feature like this because you would not be able to pick a single player it would be the entire game
so you would just see everyone in there clown suit tome/raid gear.

It doesn't have anything to do with 'rights'. That's some pretty strange logic. Everybody's character is just pixels in a video game. It isn't them. It isn't real.

If some people value immersion or just don't want to have their screen filled with scantily clad characters then why should they have no right to dictate how the game is presented to them? Within reason, of course!

Okay then, so the problem is with altering their self-expression, right?

Then instead of altering it, you remove it entirely. Add a 'glamour blacklist', separate from the normal blacklist. Adding somebody to the glamour blacklist makes them look like a generic avatar, just like how bots appear.

A lot of people spend a lot of time and effort on their glamours. It's a big deal to them... farming the pieces, dyes, matching them. To them, it's 'end game'. And above that, a lot of raiders and so on have to mix-n-match their gear to get the right stats... meaning we have no choice but to look a little silly unless we glam. It would annoy me to NO end to have someone flip that off. Because they're nickered about guys in dresses. (And be honest, that's the ONLY REASON this thread was created.)

The devs aren't going to spend time on turning glams off for some when they spend a lot of time creating fun glam pieces and understand how much time and effort players spend on the glams themselves. Just like when you walk outside and deal with some people's terrible fashion choices, you're going to do the same in-game. That's just how it works. You have no right to dictate how other people present themselves. Ever.

Tbh....wouldn't it also be worst in a way to hide glamour? Because BiS gear consist of different unmatched armor pieces and it looks like garbage.
Would you wanna see a mnk with a cowboy looking hat and then a heavenly robe with random heavy metal boots.

Yes it does. It's important for me that my character looks a certain way and evokes a certain kind of personality or demeanor. If I am seen without glams applied to any of my gear my character would appear to be a completely different type of person.

And no I don't rp. I just like to put some of myself in my character, and it's important that people see my character as who she is. Not a messy mis-matching wardrobe of unglammed gear with no personality. For example I love flowers, so I usually have a flower in my hair. My glam says something about me.

As someone who played WoW for many years long before transmog (glam) came to the game, I can tell you running around in a sea of players with mismatching gear is not very immersive. Even with dye some mis-matching sets cannot be redeemed, never mind how a lot of gear can't be dyed at all. Don't underestimate how ridiculous you can look without glamming.
