I'm LNC and GLA, and I really want those weapons, look awesome... Maybe I disagree with the design for the PUG weapon, but come on! Don't complaint about it, don't like it, don't use it!

You should care for stats, not looks... I remember in FFXI the Republic Subligar was great for lvl 30-40s... It was a subligar -_- looked awuful on a Galka, and male Elvaans and Humes, BUT, i was the best piece of gear for some levels, so ppl had to used it.
