Players who want glowing weapons of large and ridiculous proportions need to stick to the space marine shooter genre for another 7 years. Such nonsense will become a humorously naive thing to you in due time.
The MMO genre is a full generation older than the average gaming genre. To that oldre generation, we grew out of buster swords and NNNNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHHHHHH ROCKS UP FROM THE GROUND juvenile stuff a while ago.
A mage weapon that is a tiny tonberry would be kindof cool though. But lord knows the kids would demand that it sparked and smoked and struck kickass poses and destroyed the universe in a cutscene.
Because appearance is power to the young ones. Meh.
I'm okay with weapons that don't make much sense in real life, and this game already has nonpractical weapons. Many of them are needlessly boring. But the annoying adolescent imagery that is associated with the common alternative needs kept away from the game's mature fantasy style.
No swords dripping blood. That's juvenile.
