I was kinda on your side at first OP because I didn't really know what trypophobia meant and I thought it was the gorey/scary aspect you didn't like. Like I thought you didn't want to see innards and such, blood and guts. It doesn't bother me personally but I was generally supportive because like, sure, we could do without that stuff probably.
But then I looked the word up and found out you don't like "irregular patterns" or "small clusters of many holes."
Respectfully, I think your condition is sort've rare, and I think this might just be your problem to solve.
Like if I'm OCD do I get to tell ZOS to stop hanging crooked paintings? I don't think so. I just have to do whatever I can to avoid seeing them myself. Or, better yet, try to get over my phobia.

It's a catch-all term, and while the small holes thing triggers it as well this evokes the exact same feeling.
It is also not an "oh no I'm scared" type of phobia; it is a legitimate I retched in real life thing. It's not a "get over it" thing; it's an involuntary physical reaction thing.
If you like it, cool, whatever, but it's not a rare thing nor is it something I should have to solve. You may as well tell me to just stop being epileptic (I'm not, but this chapter is clearly hitting that, too).
Other games have found ways to make assets that trigger responses like this palatable, such as arachnophobia mode in Satisfactory.

I think many would be happy to have the ability to swap what you see of other peoples mounts to a basic stock version of it
Giant thunderstorm-my god is that the final boss horse someone just hopped on would be a basic default horse and my eardrums don't burst because I stood by the wayshrine to check my map
And my man here just sees a basic ?deer? instead of trying to do this
But that defeats the purpose of why people spent hundreds of dollars on crown crates, does it not?

Well, that's not a sufficient argument.
Countless players have to live with the flapping eyesore called twilight and there are enough players out there which simply don't care.
In my opinion there has to be found a general solution for health-wise harmful, immersion breaking and otherwise undesired visuals caused by other players. Someone mentioned a "blacklist" which would allow each player to define what he needs excluded from sight.

What about all those Snakes?

Yes.

These people exist indeed. But do I really need to care about the hurt feelings of such an individuum? Well, I don't think so.

I find it ironic that in a thread asking for people to care about another person's issue, this statement is even made.
Very sorry but I literally had to look up what this is supposed to be and there seems to be a general lack of willingness among psychiatrists even to consider this a phobia rather than a disgust response.
Moreover, a symptom scale has been developed and validated for the study of trypophobia. One of the mysteries that have not been solved yet is that there are people who express disgust, while others express fear or both to trypophobic images. Assuming trypophobia is due to evolution, then it makes sense to ask why some people react with disgust while others react with fear? This problem is key for the clinical understanding of trypophobia as a specific phobia and it has not been answered yet.
Results: Trypophobic images were found to increase both heart rate and heart rate variability, but only in individuals with high scores on the Trypophobia Questionnaire. Trypophobic images were also found to elicit larger haemodynamic responses in posterior cortical areas, but again only in individuals with high scores.
Limitations: The results are consistent with a contribution from both parasympathetic and sympathetic systems.
Conclusion: The data demonstrate the validity of the Trypophobia Questionnaire and show an involvement not only of the autonomic system but cortical mechanisms including cortical hyperexcitability.
One hundred and ninety-five individuals completed the questionnaire. Symptoms were chronic and persistent. The most common associated comorbidities were major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Trypophobia was associated with significant psychological distress and impairment. The majority of individuals experienced disgust rather than fear when confronted with clusters of holes, but were more likely to meet DSM-5 criteria for specific phobia than for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Symptom severity and duration were associated with functional impairment.
