I personally think Abyssos gear is hideous, but I quite like Edenmorn and Asphodelos. One man's trash is truly another man's treasure.
Agree with the weapon glow thing. Sometimes I just want the weapon without the glow, so it works for everyone!
I think both weapons should be dyeable to keep glamour options open. I think the grind for the normal mode weapon is appropriate and it's okay to let it have dyes but not the glow.
