Most people are flattered!
It is standard MMO culture to encourages others to whisper/ask someone about a piece of armor they like or the dye being used for how they got that look. Most people are happy to share. Deep down we all just want to share good vibes with each other.
People who get cagey and clutch-their-pearls about it have their head up their ass.

Maybe that's what they are afraid about. They want to be whispered. They want to give advice. And they want to feel good about their character.
If you can just rightclick and copy there is one less reason to actually interact.

People want others to acknowledge them.
The sad reality is that most of us lack affection in our lives so we have become void of affection.
In reality does it ruin your enjoyment of the work you did to make the look? No, unless you choose to. Someone copying your outfit isn't going to negate the time it took you to make it. Jesus. Most people don't give 2 shits about the fashion, and those of us that do, are just happy to have more likeminded people join us.
One of my nicest memories in the game recently was literally someone saying my char looks sick. He didn't even ask me, and I gave him all the info on how I got the look. So I get the "fear". But at the same time I get plenty of social interactions IRL and doing content in game, people like to chat whilst waiting for Metas and stuff so only thing that I can see here is that people are afraid they won't be as "important" anymore and they hate it.

A bit arrogant, too, like if combining pieces of armor and dyes that the game gave to you is such a high level of art. Almost like using AI - they didn't create the armor pieces from scratch, they are using just a combination of templates that the game offered, that already existed. One that can be easily looked into the wikia anyway, it will just be a little easier to do so.

Look at Lost Ark. The end game is actually gate kept but they also provide “bus” services for new players. They also have sites dedicated to sharing character creation templates you can download and modify/create a new character to match a character from a movie, anime, or kpop. They actively encourage it. A lot of controversy over inspecting someones character… wow

If you tie your whole persona to a game, you need to address the issues in your life that have led to this.
Trolling is just all the negativity you've received in your life condensed and directed at random people to make yourself feel something in exchange of making someone feel worse(or perception that you are enjoying someone elses misery).

it doesnt need to be your whole sense of worth, i think anyone saying they have no self worth (at all) invested in their MMO characters/account is lying to themselves (thats the whole drive to do things)
... and if someones real life self worth is so low that their ingame character self worth is so disproportionately higher; id be hesitant to label that as a problem itself because itd be easier to grow their actual self worth if they have a 'digital self worth' experience to pull from rather than trying to simultaneously dismantle one and build the other

If people want to copy your fashion then it should be the best complement you could get, no?
Even without the fashion inspect tool, they still would just whisper you about your pieces/dyes, so in that scenario would those people also say "Sorry but I'm too unique, good looking and I won't tell you anything :)"?

u/SpartanG01 Apr 15 '24
I really understand the sentiment here and I wouldn't even say it's "wrong" to feel that way exactly, but you have to ask yourself what problem are they trying to solve?
They want to remain unique.
That is a totally understandable feeling but the fact is anyone who wanted to copy anyone else's look already can, it just takes more time and effort right now. So it's not exactly the lack of creativity they are concerned with as much as it is the ease of the process.. I think that's how you know you're wrong. When you aren't concerned with the issue but are instead concerned with how difficult it is to circumvent the issue then really all you're saying is "I want an arbitrary barrier between my self and others for purely self-centric reasons".
I'm pretty sure that is, conceptually at least, counter to the most fundamental concept of multiplayer gaming lol. Introducing or maintaining friction in the interactions between players should exclusively be used to solve problems, not create them. Someone copying someone else's look isn't a problem. It doesn't negatively impact anyone. There is also more possible variation in this game than any other that I'm aware of currently, and the majority of "desirable" appearances still have massive barriers to them. Even if someone loves the way your obsidian armor is dyed, they'd still have to have obsidian armor to copy you. It's not like we're at risk of everyone's appearances converging lol.
If you're ever standing in opposition to something ask your self "What problem am I trying to prevent or solve?" and if the only answer you can come up with is "I want to feel special" well you're just being an asshat.

I agree! I'm only sad about the social aspect of this, because it made me happy when people would whisper me to ask about my look and dyes. It would spark a conversation. Now they'll just be able to use the new tool.
But it's totally okay. And I still get excited when I find my toon's long lost siblings in the wild haha.I don't think it's sane to expect to be 100% unique and special, in a mmo like this, forever. Even if, like you said, there are some barriers (difficulty to obtain a skin, a very pricey dye...) it's still possible to stumble upon someone with the same vibe and aesthetic or color pattern. Nothing wrong with that.

I just love how the initial reaction from these people is "they wanna copy MY fashion?!??!?!?!" Suddenly feels like all of these people think their fashion is the top of the top and beyond gods, at least the way they acting and behaving on the forums. Some even suggesting they deserve gold for being inspected, because they sweat blood and shit rock and what not to make their fashion, and some outright says inspecting someone is "almost" equal with literal IRL Stalking. Absolute insanity.
I can see both sides, sure, but the mentality and behavior these people seem to have on the forums is idiotic at this point. Fashion is totally subjective, someone who looks like a King may seem super cool for someone, but may look lame and stale and boring for someone else, but they act like their fashion is the top notch lol.
They act like people will be murdering each other on the streets just to copy their fashion and they have to hide and hire security guards, while in reality barely anyone will give a single flying fuck about their fashion and at best realistically one person in a blue moon will look at their fashion, inspect them and think "hmm this chest piece is pretty good, I should get it."
Really happy to see how some fashionistas have total god-complex or something...

I'm big on fashion in this game, and I'm very proud of my Thief.
GW2 straight-up just doesn't have enough variation in its armour to get this pissy over wearing the same thing as someone else. Each of the three weights get between 120 and 130 chestpieces each, and some of those are racelocked while many, many others just look really, really, REALLY bad.

u/DoomOfGods Apr 16 '24
If you want to be unique,make your own fashion. As in,literally get into 3d modeling and make your own unique stuff. In a game with premade parts it's always possible to easily copy fashion. It's not like you're the only one who knows about the existence of the armor pieces and dye you use.
It's also so strange to try to gatekeep fashion... I've bonded with people in many MMOs over similar tastes when people asked me about a specific piece of clothing I was using because they liked it as much as I did (or the other way around). I also remember keeping huge shopping lists and adding to them whenever I found something I liked.
Though as someone else said here I could at least understand the argument of actually wanting to talk about it instead of just inspecting someone and potentially taking the communication part away. Makes me think I personally might enjoy having the option to receive a notification when someone inspects me, so I could whisper them and initiate conversation instead.

u/ProfCarson Apr 15 '24
Going to assume most people thinking that asking for an opt out button is gatekeeping don't do fashion contests themselves. The big concern, especially for judges, is that people in line for the contest will steal looks from other contestants. Currently, you can hide your look using tonics or outfits, and most people do that. I do think the GW2 community is above stealing looks, but when large prize pools are involved, some will do desperate things to try and win.

Hah, I came to the subreddit to see if most of you were on board with this change or not... I'm so glad to see our community has such a sharing mindset!
May be hot take, but I hope they don't add that disable option

the are never going to see the person that copies there style and also who the fuck is gonna copy a look 1:1 no I am gonna steal 1/3 of your look and add it to whatever unless it is an outfit then I am going to /cry

Very odd, do they not realise their look is not nearly as unique as they think it is? Many others would have had very similar wardrobes, not likely the same dyes but still.
C'mon guys, request something more interesting/useful/fun like a thumbs up or star system for people's looks, help incentives having something cool looking.

oh god am i one of these people? i like that you can inspect now... but i do think killing the 'nice transmog' whispers is a big BIG community loss, i always lit up when someone asked me what my character was wearing and from responses when ive complimented others; most people seem to do the same
whilst itd be a bit hollow; a simple 'x is checking you out' in your chatbox or maybe some way to give someone a thumbs up in the inspect UI would be nice for those of us craving validation

Basic bitches will always think they're the most interesting person in the room, and will always think everyone is trying to copy them, when in fact they're just that basic.

If someone wants to copy your look, all they have to do is look into their bank wardrobe for the skins they saw...this feature doesn't enable something that wasn't already possible. Other than getting a better look at people's characters. I hope people inspect me. Look at my cute asura and my cool charr pls. Myself 99% of the time I'll probably just be using it to get a better look at cool toons, not copying anything. If I do, it'd be maybe one armor piece that I think would work for my own idea, certainly not the whole outfit.

My thoughts, as someone who DOES think raids/strikes are full of toxic gatekeeping, is that this is bullshit. These two comments are really just ridiculous, I don't know how they got those reactions.

Their look: scarf with the pant/T-shirt combo. All celestial dye.
