spoiler'd for lengthApologies for the double post, I didn't see this come up.

How do you justify gravity? Or justify the physics behind an archer launching an arrow? There are certain things that are justified by forces beyond yours, ours, or anyone's means. Every change starts somewhere, you are correct, but sometimes the buck just stops. We can manipulate the effects, but not that basic understanding and the basic understanding is that there is no way to have a black mage in heavy armor. This isn't socio-political or a matter of consensus. It's for all purposes, a law of the universe Eorzea is based in. I'm not even certain that the devs created any lore about glamours other than "LOOK WHAT I CAN DO, YOU CAN TOO NOW. COME, LEARN."

While Newton possibly ran out into town square and yelled that about his findings on gravity, which were eventually proven to be what we call fact (I'm taking some creative license here), we have yet to disprove gravity itself. It is a law of reality. It can be manipulated but not changed.

(I'm rambling.)

Back on point, considering that Eorzea is a fictional reality with its own physics and laws of energy, matter, etc, it is naturally written in that they are (gasp) laws. Immutable. We, as RPers, can hand-wave that off if we like and decide it doesn't exist in our perception but that creates chaos. And now we've entered into the realm of philosophy and archaic existentialism, which was the predecessor of modern science. Modern science being what proves and disproves theories about our universe.

And finally, I am by no means a pessimist. I am, however, an obvious realist (if you hadn't guessed by now) and I am full of concern that there's such zeal for affecting change in a video game's very minor detailing system when there are so many things about our real world that could use the attention. Which is why I felt that "The Devs said No" was a proper response, because if they said No and "No means No" then we can devote our time and mental efforts to other enriching activities. 

Also, this. Frustrated

Cheers!

See, the thing about all of this is that the devs ARE human beings, they HAVE demonstrated some level of response to player feedback, and the devs, being the true gods of Eorzea that create the reality of the game universe, have all the power in the world to affect this sort of change.

Even more than that, simply talking about this sort of thing and bringing it to their attention takes an absolute bare minimum of effort. I have enough hours in the day to devote to seemingly frivolous affairs like this while still doing things of actual importance, thank you very much. Smile

Remember, the only reason glamours are in the game at all is simply because players really, really wanted it and made it known. We can equally make it known that restricting it arbitrarily is simply not good enough. If you don't care enough to participate and think it a waste of time, that is entirely on you, and it is within your rights to refrain from wasting any further energy on the endeavor. Smile
