Yeah this guy is right! In fact, they should change all glamour systems to be the same way. You seeing your bunny suit is what counts everyone else can see the gear your actually wearing.

It's not glam, though. It's an ability effect. And I can turn off ability effects from other players and I don't see them complaining. The only situation I'm imagining is: another player saying, "man, your glam is awesome except for that terrible Gauss barrel". Is that something MCH's deal with? I wouldn't know, I haven't leveled it that high yet.
Problem is GB isn't like any other ability effect. Abilities with persistent visual effects usually have a duration. On the other side most abilities that do not have duration like tank/damage stances for tanks, cleric stance, even bards version of this ability, all except GB don't have a persistent visual effect.
And yes GB can throw off a glamour especially when your going for a look that includes the look of your weapon, which lots of players do.
Not really sure if this is all that relevant, but the new Garo PvP MCH gun and Gauss Barrel... They don't go together very well

The thing is bigger than the gun and not even hanging around anywhere near it.
I didn't even know this was a thing. /gbarrel command works wonders. Thanks! Now my pistol can look like a pistol. lol
Nightmare.
Ha, I was wondering how this would look. I really hope they eventually let you toggle gbarrel off for everyone
