I would agree with your point here. A lot of people are under the impression that it doesn’t matter what they see in the game because it doesn’t affect anyone else, but your character is your identity in this game and your appearance is an important part of that. When Luclin models were first introduced as an option, it was a hit to player immersion, at least for me, because I wouldn’t be experiencing the same thing as other players. Not very mmorpg like.

It's FPS like (early 2000s). I could download mods for games like CounterStrike, Insurgency etc and make me or others look how I like. No complaints, active community around it.
Flash forward a few years after the industry took hold of MMORPG ideas and topsy-turvied things.
Now FPS games are MMORPG like (except its skins that are purchased $$$)
People would argue that the benefit of purchased skins are that other players can see their chosen identity and its not just a free downloaded mod that only they could.
Mod skins don't belong in MMORPGS but they do in FPS games. Its just they got people to feel good about paying for it.
