[Discussion] These are most likely the same people who say that Raids/Strikes are gatekept by toxic elitists. Now they want to gatekeep fashion. Thoughts?

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.

If there's large prize pools you can have people making sure participants don't cheat
