Cash shop item to NOT see other players costumes and cosmetics

I'm a player that values the aesthetic progression of my character and of those around me. I feel costumes are immersion breaking, and with the vast amount of cosmetics and costumes already in the game I think it's going to taint the beautiful world being created. I understand people like to see these things and will pay for it. Can I at least get an option to NOT see all the costumes and cosmetics?? I'd be more than willing to pay for it in the cash shop. If it's even possible, I have no idea.

Hell yeah! Let's have the battle of the wallets! Who's willing to pay more, people who wanna show off their wallets or people who don't want none of that shit?

I would like to purchase an item that allows me to apply my costumes and cosmetics to other players. Imagine hunting down your enemies and dressing them up.

I'm pretty sure Steven has already said that disabling cosmetics won't be an option (except during specific PvP activities), so no point in trying to suggest alternatives.

The funny thing is that people don't even know if cash shop cosmetics will be the best looking gear in game, and I have a feeling that the biggest chads won't wear cash shop cosmetics which can only be worn as a set, but instead transmogs of the best looking gear obtainable by playing the game.

Won't happen. Already confirmed.

well this is disappointing... I now want a neon purple thomas the train engine costume.

@Morg7x7 for them to see the costume too, or just for you or everyone else? Or shadow costume them, so they don't see it but everyone else does? Maybe it could be a tiered system.
T1 just you see it
T2 you and the target sees it
T3 You the the target and everyone else
T4 You the and everyone else, but NOT the target
Lets make this happen!

No.

There's a quote somewhere on the Wiki saying that the 'best looking' cosmetics are ones you can get in game. Then again 'best looking' is entirely opinion based.

Not best looking, but highest quality

Just went back to check and 'grand looking' was the exact term used on the Cosmetics page.

Costumes are fun and I have bought some but it's always been more of an achievement of what you've obtained in game.

Right... so I explained why you cant have an ingame option for this, but now you found the solution is to charge people for it?

CROW3

No thanks.

imagine buying cosmetics for years, and people being able to disable cosmetics... hell no.

In other games, or in this one? Because from what we've seen so far, there hasn't been anything that wouldn't fall into the thematic category. I'm guessing you're thinking about silly things you see in eastern MMOs like chicken suits and such.

Can you give some examples of what you've seen so far in this game that you would consider immersion breaking? I think it would help get a general baseline for what is "too much" for you.

@joeyohknow : Most recent I can think of FFIV, watching people fly around on motorcycles and stuff, even though it is explained in the lore, it still is silly to me. But to be more clear, I have yet to see anything immersion breaking in this games costume/cosmetic shop. I'm more against complete costumes than simple cosmetics. All the costumes in NW were silly, and basically just acts a mechanic to hide your gear from others for PvP. Only game I purchased cosmetics from was PoE, but I did it for my viewing, not others. I find it kind of funny people want other players to see the way they dress up. But i'm just a dirty purist.

Only the people who bought the ability to disable cosmetics wouldn't see them on themselves or others. You'd still see and others that wanted to see them would still see them. Not sure me seeing your dressed up character is important to you. I'd much rather see the gear you've acquired. But fear not, this or anything like it has a snowballs chance in hel of actually happening lol.

You can literally turn that around.
"Not sure me seeing your dressed up character is important to you".
"Not sure you not seeing my dressed up character is important to me".

Its important to many. Just look at MOBAs for example.
If players just wanted to look nice, all they'd have to do is exchange the files in the game folder and they could look however the fuck they want.

That's not what its about though. People want others to see your nice outfits, just like IRL.
Whether they are paid for or earned ingame doesn't matter in that regard.

That is stupid no, if someone buys a product you re going to see it, you carnet paying money to hide things. You are simply trying to create a reason for people to not buy cosmetics because you haven't come to terms with how things are now with games.

No matter what you do or think that will never change companies you have no money or influence. Nor ability to change peoples mind that spend hundreds of thousand dollars on games to stop.
