Sure, someone can get a haircut and do their eyebrows, but the amount of features on what a person looks like is limited. Glamour adds an extra layer of customization to this, both in real life and in game.

For an MMO - if being able to turn of glamour means someone can turn off what a player want to show, that affects their role playing aspect as they are no longer in control of how they truly want to be perceived as the way they customized their character. In the end, it boils down to existence of choice and representation. There would be reasons why people would spend hours on choosing how their character's physical features look in addition to the outfits they wear. There's also - to a certain extent - people who wish to glamour their gear to show their achievements and wear them with pride. The idea of being able to turn glamour off in an MMO setting simply derides that very intention of glamour in the first place.
From what I've seen from some replies on here other MMOs have a similar feature available and it doesn't seem to be a problem there. Why is it such a problem that a feature like this could be implemented here? Again this isn't removing people's choice or ability to create a character or dress them however they want. It's just allowing some people who don't care to see the more flamboyant glamours out there the opportunity to not have to. Everyone acts like if this feature were to be add that 99% of players would use it when in reality it would probably be closer to 10-15% if that. The need to have everyone see your glamour is just as selfish as someone who doesn't care to see it.
