When I was playing WoW I would usually find one armor I liked and glamour it at all times but with all the options I am seeing in this game and all the different jobs I am gonna have to get a lot more glamour options, so it absolutely make sense people want to complete many different fabulous looking sets to use at different occasions, which is also far more mentally healthier than "bragging rights" which can be seen in WoW with people doing things they dont really enjoy to get something they dont really care about but because it has prestige in it and believe others will be impressed and they will be seen as "elite".(No we wont be impressed, its a video game, that kind of behavior implies more negative things about the person)

Which of course has also made the WoW community degenerate into "Your opinion doesnt matter unless you ve done X elite thing", thankfully FF14 community is nowhere near that.
My experience (which I admit is limited) has been the opposite though. I've seen a lot of people afk in the cities with a glowing weapon which I think is from the Ultimate raids. I think for at least those people it's all about bragging (and there's one on the forums here too...) I've not encountered that many other glamours outside of those glowing weapons so I guess I haven't seen people glamouring for the sake of looking good.
