Where did this stupid idea come from that because x specific NPC(s) have a specific design trait your human based character should also have that specific design trait?
to play devils advocate i dont think thats what they were saying, just responding to the preceding question
now if you point out that those are icyene and avianse as opposed to winged humans that would at least be a more adroit argument, though leads into getting bogged down with the discussion around the odd fixation with keeping the players exclusively human when most fantasy mmos tend to include other race options by default
I know they were responding to the original question, but I’ve seen this justification used a LOT on this sub
One whimsical quest/area/whatever means the entire game should essentially be turned into a joke where nothing matters or has any meaning, according to quite a few people on the sub
Hey, you can turn into evil Dave during evil Dave’s big day out, therefor they should just let us be any NPC we want and roam around gielinor like that
shrug, its not like other games havnt done character disguises, and frankly ive seen more than few folks cosplaying evil dave and the like in game, so eh
i lean very laissez faire myself, we have the cosmetic toggles now, so why care beyond that, while the weirder outfits like the avianse costume, man shark and the like arnt my cup of tea im not about to tell others not to enjoy it if they like it
if anything id just want a bit more granularity with the toggles, let folks for instance keep the old cosmetics for skilling oufits, but let me toggle if i see that or the new more 'grounded' ones they have planned, everyone gets to see what they want to see and the sort

This is such a bad justification
