I do appreciate the communication overall, I'd rather say the engineering should goes into developing the game rather than subjective opinions about checkbox to aurora, vision and coalescence. For myself I do find the floating orbs meaningful of how you've achieved them regardless to the people who have them do complain for a reason which is totally subjective for their fashion war, for myself when new players look at my character they are complement the legendary armor and the floating orbs at first they thought it's a skin, I had to tell them it's a legendary trinket, which takes a hefty amount of time to obtain them.
I do understand majority would like a tick box to have visual disabled, that hopefully come down the road for at least 5% of players who actually have them. I wouldn't tick that box and I think it's actually very subjective from these players do complain, will always complain about little things either it's personal or subjective. I'd rather areannet spend time, effort into development for guild wars 2 then purely cosmetics changes.
Thank you :).
