Hi , could it be a thing to have an enable/disable option for cosmetic ? So if I choose to play rp and want to see the stuff of everyone ,I can. And maybe I could enable it during event .
Or the cosmetic guy WANT that non payer HAVE to look at his skins ?

Just an idea , I don't know what it could implicate

    At the moment there's not going to be a cosmetic on/off button for other players (You can of course toggle your own on or off)

    There will however likely be no cosmetics worn for the big events that pull hundreds of players together (such as sieges) and players will be returned to a default appearance state for performance reasons.

    There's a similar thread where this topic has been discussed recently, if you're interested.

    Which is the greater folly, summoning the demon or expecting gratitude from it?

    A "default player appearance" may be automatically applied during sieges or other large scale battles to improve client-side performance.[69][70]

    Cosmetics, whether purchased from the shop or earned in game, are an important component of MMORPGS I personally enjoy; and there's a lot of collectors out there who spend a great deal of time either in-game achieving these things or spend money purchasing them from the cosmetic only marketplace; and we don't want to demean or reduce that achievement or that expenditure. So it's going to be situational where the default appearance will be applied and can be activated.[69] – Steven Sharif
