So... Portraits

[CidHeiral]

Or they could just revert to the prior way that seemed to just work and if people want to have lewd portraits, well, so what? Mass murder, suicide, suggested SA, suggestive glam, exotic dancers etc etc all ok! Lewd player portraits??? oh, hell no!

Yes "suggestive glam" is definitely the same thing as a dude jerking off for the camera.

Is it any different? Who really cares? You only see the adventure plate if you click on someone and look at them. You can disable portraits if you dont want to ever see anything suggestive. I just dont see how adventure plate/portrait lewdness is so so much worse than actual story themes or players glamming themselves to look as sexy as they can.

It's not. People just wanna complain to complain. The fact that they have to opt out of seeing portraits is one step too much, so it's easier to just complain about it. *shrugs*

Well adjusted people, and presumably developers of popular MMOs that don't want portaits of catgirls giving head to run them afoul of the ESRB.

"I shouldn't have to stop making juvenile porn portraits, other people should just lock themselves out of an entire feature of the game."

Grow up.

One day you'll grow out of your teens and it'll make more sense.

Idk why they cant be like adventurer plate? my plate doesn't need to be updated every time i change my socks

I like how the error mentions how it could be the Weapon or an Accessory preventing you from saving the Portrait but leaves it up to you to figure it out.

I still wished i could just really opt out of them... it annoys me so much lol

The go to solution in FF14 for a player potentially abusing something is simply to restrict everyone so abuse isn't possible, instead of punishing players that can't play nice.
Once I noticed it for the first time, I started seeing it everywhere in how they design things that are put into the game.

But yeah the portrait system is a mess still after half a year of it being in the game, baffling to me.
