Option: Disable / Enable Mount Skins of other players.

[DonArkanio.6419]

Would you like it?

[AlexxxDelta.1806]

This is pointless. Having gem store items visible is part of their monetization scheme.

[Ultramex.1506]

Set player model quality to lowest. Everyone now run around with normal skin, a better poll would be can we PLEASE have "reduce flashy effect" slider?

[arielwind.8921]

Please give us an option to disable annoying infusion and legendary effect as well. Guild Wars 2 screen mess getting worse these years.

[Tyncale.1629]

No. I want everyone to see my cool Dreadnought raptor.

[SEED.9051]

There should be no sliders to reduce anything from the other players.. Deal with it. It's part of playing with other players in an MMO.

Unless you have a sh*t PC....in that case, do better.

As Ultramex pointed out above, setting character quality to lowest will remove a lot of flair. Also setting character limit to lowest will simply not render most toons & mounts. IMO, a better option would be to dynamically scale those two values based on frame rate. Lately I've been forced to use the lowest character count because large scale battles in WvW or most World Bosses hits my frame rate pretty bad, but I have no problems rendering 10 char instances in max quality.

[Xion.5694]

Yes. My PC would definatelly like that.

[ProverbsofHell.2307]

Sounds good to me. Nobody cares how your character looks and it can often hurt performance.

Also most people have very unattractive and badly designed characters. That’s my opinion.

Wrong. Today, we can already hide, among other things:

• Outifts
• Armor skins from the Gem Store
• Character customization options exclusive to the Gem Store (hair styles, skin colors, face styles, etc)
• Dyes exclusive to the Gem Store
• Emotes exclusive to the Gem Store
• Mount skins

And so on and so on. As mentioned above, setting Player Model Quality to lowest (more details here) doesn't reduce texture quality (which is a different setting entirely), so no "potato graphics"; it simply replaces character models by something far more immersive.

Heh, I'll never see it.

Nope, not in this MMO it isn't, see above ;)

That’s nice, putting down the less fortunate and all.

[SEED.9051]

That’s nice, putting down the less fortunate and all.Nonsense. If you play on a toaster, more power to you. But it is what it is.

[Adibas.6982]

if not disable all mounts at least an option to disable stationary floating skyscales

[Mewcifer.5198]

I would never use the setting because seeing all the crazy, cool, bizarre, or themed looks people put together and mounts contribute to that. But I can see the benefits of a "simple mounts" checkbox that would make it so you only see the base mount skins.

[Danikat.8537]

I'd never use it, because I like seeing what other people do with their characters, including their mounts, but I wouldn't object to the option being there if people want it.

So yeah, my game actually looks better than yours ;)

[Makuragee.3058]

I want an option to hide other player skill FX (outside of group/squad) and yeah remove fx of other player too why not the visual noice is on critical level

[Gop.8713]

If other players spending rl money on flashy mount skins allows me to continue playing for free, I'm all for it. If any portion of that money would be lost by the addition of a setting to ignore those flashy mount skins -- or anything else -- I'm against it. Besides which, as others have said we already have tools for this, use those . . .

[JUN YANG.4328]

nope. skin, infusion, legendary these all for show off. why people buying a porsche, ferrari ,for speed? NO. most of them is for telling people how rich they are. some theory. those effect is telling people how rich they are or how many time they spent on game. if they comes up with switch on/off effect button. i believe lots of people will quite because of it.

[SEED.9051]

setting Player Model Quality to lowestSo yeah, my game actually looks better than yours ;)

"I play on lowest settings; so my game looks better than yours :#"

"I play on lowest settings; so my game looks better than yours :#"So you think high texture quality is the lowest setting? Have you ever seen the options menu, or did you just play the game without bothering with any setting at all?

That would explain a lot, actually.

[Game of Bones.8975]

Take this idea to the extreme: everyone is seen as their most basic versions.

I did enjoy the poll. As simple as can be, a simple "Yes" or "No."

I would definitely use an "adaptative" setting for those two parameters.

[SEED.9051]

So you think high texture quality is the lowest setting?

I think having LOWEST QUALITY player models, as you said you do, Is low settings, yes.

My settings are all set to HIGHEST for best quality.... so my game looks better than yours ;)
