    Glowing effects on "upgraded" gear.

    I think this looks ugly and really distracts from the beauty of the gear the devs make and it's becoming far too over-used, especially now seeing the new gear in the 2.3 preview. Could a community rep ask the design lead if he would consider using this effect less and possibly use an alternate color scheme or altered model instead of a glow effect in the future?

    I know people don't like the "I" word but it breaks my immersion greatly to see that everything is having this glow and I shouldn't have to use the glamour system to enjoy new armor.

    Edit: To be clear I mean the glowing cloud

    Edit 2:
    Why not ask for a toggle?
    Already did

    Why not? It's a personal opinion and they enabled a system for those who personally don't like the look of something (or prefer another look), why not use the tools enabled for that?

    Well think of the impracticality of that. (example) I rather like the Ifrit weapon models and will be happy to obtain the new version and use them if they're good. But now I have to go out and obtain a second Ifrit weapon to glamour over it because of this over-used glow effect? No thank you. Most weapons end game weapons have this glow effect and it's getting out of hand in my opinion. Everything doesn't need a glow.

    I dont like all those glowing clouds around weapons, too. I like it if the weapon has glowing marks on it like the alagan gear or the ifrit weapons. but glowing clouds that cover the howle weapon are ugly.

    This is exactly what I'm talking about. The glowing cloud is hideous, distracting, immersion breaking and once 2.3 comes out will completely outnumber gear without this effect.

    This x1000! This is the exact thoughts I've had over time. Tacky glowing clouds makes the game look cheap.

    I get people don't like the glowing effects but stop talking as if your opinions are fact. I don't think they look cheap or tacky at all.
