When did I say I had anything against using light as a tool? I'm fine with them using it when it makes sense and plays well into design.

I just feel that the beauty of a weapon is in its details, and putting lights on them takes away from that beauty. I think light is a spectacular tool, but I just feel it's better suited for environments and I feel the lore of FFXIV doesn't work well with consistently glowing weapons.

I'm glad you care about this game and I can tell you have a lot of passion for making it the best product it can be in your eyes, and even though I disagree with your opinion, I accept it.
