I see more logic in letting people enjoy parts of the mmo they want to, and opt out of the parts they don't want.

- Don't want to do do weekly raids? You don't have to.
- Don't want to do pvp? you don't have to (funny how CONSENUAL PVP is a term. Strange, we keep seeing that word, Consent.)
- Don't want to do pve? you don't have to (there's pvp)
- Don't want to do side quests? You don't have to


- Don't want to enable glams? You don't have a choice.


Again, my screen is my screen. Your experience is your own, and you have no right to force that on me. If I want to enjoy the base game cosmetics and armor as they are worn, then I have that right.

It's telling those wanting to force my experience to see glams when they don't know if I can even see them or not.

Honestly, it makes me feel like we have charlatans in the community who use words like "consent", "expression", "player choice", "safe space" to mask their ulterior motive that they want to control how others see the game and experience it, regardless of if they're partaking in that or not.

I'm sorry, that's wrong, morally, ethically, wrong.
