Lol, I like how all the "I've been playing EQ longer than you," snobs decide to take away options that wouldn't effect them, then latch on to a "I don't want Devs to waste time" mantra when they realize they're being ridiculous.
So from here on out are we going to vote on everything the devs do, since we apparently know best how to use their time?
Sorry, the new models sucked, except the Iksar, always liked the new ones myself, and regardless of what's done I'm staying with the old models. But to vote to not allow others to use a graphics you don't have to see is just stupid.
Thank you Nil for making this poll, while some whiners may be railing on you, I appreciate the fact that you're willing to listen when the community has an issue. I don't particularly care about this one, but at least I know you'll be around when an issue is raised that does effect me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Oh, and Morfnblorsh, we're aware of your opinion and don't need to hear it again. There is a lot of non-classic elements on p1999, so the tired "It's not classic so it won't be here," argument is moot. |
I'd support the option to enable new models IF and only IF others saw me as the old model IF I was using the old model myself. I want others to see me as I see me, as it's a form of my own self-expression. How a race looks is very important. In fact, it's part of my role-playing identity. It plays a part in which race(s) I decide to play. It matters a lot to me. If I am playing a human and you see me in-game as the new model, then that would be because I'm using the new model. If I was using the old model, you'd see the old model. That kind of functionality I would support. The difference(s) between the old models and new models are that big. Ofcourse, this is not how it works on live, but I would prefer it to work that way. The old models and new models should not be used so interchangeably as they're integral to self-expression (just like the weapon you use or the dye's you use) and nothing at all alike. The model you use is like the clothing you wear. What fits on an old model human male, would rip and shred apart on the new model because of the steroids.
I've vote the same way on live, and with the same conditions.
PS: And saying that it's all a matter of perception is stretching it - just as much as the new models are rippling with muscles. Saying that the difference between the old model human and the new model human is just opinion is not a valid/honest argument. One is roughly average looking, the other is thickly muscled and belongs in a wrestling ring - or gym. End of story. If I wanted to look like a wrester while playing a druid, I'd select a barbarian (they can't be druids though). It's denial for you to think this way.
