The Aion weapon isnt that bad of a glow, but the way WoW does it is the way many other MMORPGs do it, and glowing weapons really just aren't as great as the bare metal weapons we currently have. I like the weapons in FFXIV the way they are just come up with some more designs. I can easily see a water-elemental Sword being introduced similar to Tidus's Brotherhood. Transparent, unique... It can easily be done without havng to resort to using the flametongue sword model and making it glow a blue color.

Glowing weapons will allow for a company to be dull and non-creative with their games. I think we are trying to direct FFXIV in the opposite direction, aren't we?
