At least thats different each patch.
I can't imagine an idea that would kill this game faster. The feeling of becoming more powerful is what keeps many people coming back throughout an expansion. If it were just glamour, almost all content creators would quit the game, all raids would be barren wastelands, and all that would be left are people RPing with glamour essentially turning the game into a chatroom with character models if there are even enough players to keep the server running on that alone.

I'm not even a hardcore raider. I'm still hoping I can defeat O3S, O4S, and Shinryu EX before the next major patch. But I would unsub the instant this game became leveling up for glamour only.
