I for one think you sir is full of it, and you need to stop lying to us.

For one you claim the graphics is better in 2.0 than 1.0 but clearly yoshida actually points out how 1.0 graphics was much superior.

Why not put both effort into making, both glamour gear looks nice, along with actual useable gear?

It’s clear that the glamour system was introduce so that you guys can be more lazy and not actually come up with original designs for high level gear, leaving people to use low lvl already in game items to use on their high level equipment.
Better isn't always 'better'. 1.0 did have far better graphics but they required bleeding edge computers (for the time) to actually LOOK better. Seriously, Crysis had nothing on 1.0. That said, their focus has always been to make the raid gear better than tome and crafted gear. It's part of what drove some players away. The Glamour system is just a means of customization that alot of gear simply does not have.
