If your pc has so much trouble running the game to the point that it noticeably benefits from putting all players in the same outfit, then you need a new pc. Any gaming rig that has this particular issue with glams would have horrific performance in combat even with all the graphical settings down as low as possible.

Spell animations are significantly more taxing than clothing. I have a really good pc but in some fights my fps can drop for a brief moment due to the amount of spell effects going on (usually during a boss's ultimate attack or something of that nature), but I get zero performance issues even on the busiest days in the busiest towns. Earlier today the whole server was on top of msq npcs in several zones, and my pc didn't even hiccup in the slightest, but it can during some specific moments in combat.

You actually guarantee that people will have more difficulty co-existing if you allow them to remove glams from their view. Because when they go to another online multiplayer game they will be too used to living in a bubble that shielded them from the dreaded fashion choices of other players.

You cannot learn to co-exist with others if you refuse to acknowledge their different choices in appearance.
