There was some discussion last year about people being annoyed with the virtuoso's blades. It's really immersion breaking when your character is having a tender moment in the story, but they have an array of blades menacingly pointed at all times.
A toggle was proposed on multiple forums to solve this issue.
Some players don't want this because it hides information in PvP, this is understandable. They could be toggled on/off during combat, and always on in PvP. I don't see how that could be dissatisfying to anybody.
I believe the most time consuming thing to implement about this would be FX for the blades disappearing. For them appearing, they could easily pop in the FX currently used for when a blade is generated.
I figured that since there's an update coming soonish with weapon changes, maybe this is something that could be snuck in?
