True, it’s similar to criticizing that Rangers always have a pet, Elementalists use elemental attacks or Unicorns have horns in most depictions.

Personal preference, yes, but in this case your preference would then be not to roll a Mesmer!

That’s not personal preference, that’s being forced to not play a part of the game that I paid for simply due to unfortunate graphics design. Immersion is the key to any RPG. Also the clones are what are characteristic of the Mesmer. The butterflies are additional.

Good attempt, but not in line with the purpose of the thread. Options and answers rather than vague concepts that have no ground in reality.

If the mesmer is changed to your preferences, then we are forced to play a part of the game that we paid for in a way that we don’t want due to changes in graphics and design. Many of us mesmers do get immersed into the RPG because of the colors and butterflies.

The GW2 mesmer is what it is. Your personal preferences on what you think is right for a mesmer has no more bearing in reality than what Anet came up with, and your preference should not supercede what the majority want. Accept the mesmer for what is … or leave it.

Also please stop spewing those pseudo intelligent statements you end your posts with like “options and answers rather than vague concepts that have no ground in reality.” They add nothing and are merely condescending trash you throw in to bolster your ego.

I would like the option to change the sparkles and spell effects colors like the armor color change customization… give us black and yellow, or green and white, or something else thats not so…

What is this talk about changing the mesmer colors? The mesmer embodies the spirit of characters like the lacy effete Sir Percy Blakeney, aka The Scarlet Pimpernel. The pink colors and butterflies just add to the effect.

“They seek him here, they seek him there”
“Those Frenchies seek him everywhere”
“Is he in heaven, is he in hell”
“That kitten elusive pimpernel.”

KEEP THE PINKS AND KEEP THE BUTTERFLIES

Yellow and black would be awful and kill the effect. This is a mesmer and not the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ben Roethlisburger. If you want those colors, go play a Charr warrior.
