you know something about real settings, they have a bunch of crap that you find tacky in it. If you go to the store, not everything there is for you, you may find hawaian shirts tacky, but guess what some people wear em all the time. Its ridiculous that you think a game that is supposed to span at least 4 different cultures, is all going to have the same visual bias. I see glow in the dark crap all over black shroud, heck even trees glow, i dont think its that crazy that some gridanian might say, damn im gonna through some glowy magic shit on that sword, because we just like glowy magic shit.

think of the amount of different cultures that have used body paint or tattoos, and the variety between them, do you really think if dudes could make shit glow reliably, they wouldnt put that stuff on gear?
We got dudes in this game who put gemstones into their heads. why is luminescence the end of the world
