Glowing weapons and armour [Concern]

Hi everyone and sorry for the rant,

I recall the siege video showed last month and I have not been able to shake the feeling off me.
In the video, it seemed like everyone had access to glowing gear, and right now, due to the content unlocked in Apocalypse, most of us actually have unlocked glowing gear.

It is my personal opinion that glowing gear is not something you should come by easily. It should be something more epic or even legendary.
Glowing gear is an eye-catcher, so it is easy to stand out by wearing it.
Imagine 200 people in the main town, in order to easily recognise someone who have achieved something legendary, you would assume it was the person with cool glowing gear; he stands out. If you have earned something extraordinary you should stand out.

Now you have given out glowing gear to everyone in apocalypse, so it seems very hard to be able to stand out in the future. I do not know how you will revert the damage, but I suggest that you no longer try to make everything glow.

It might also be my personal opinion, but I find it a nuisance to see alll the glow, and in massive PvP it might end up disorient or hinder the view to something important.

So in short... Can we limit the Glow stick / lightsaber give away?

Maybe I'm too much of a realist when it come to armor and weapons in the fantasy genre. I'm not sure the whole glow thing fits much in a fantasy MMO. I can see maybe glowing runes on a weapon or a flaming sword blade but it's a fantasy MMO. It shouldn't look like a sci-fi game. If I want to wield a lightsaber I'll play some SWTOR.

Yeah the flash is far too over the top. Reminds me of a sci fi game and not fantasy. I truly hope this changes for release.
