I feel with the revamp in professions we should receive a lot of glyphs. I think (I mean think Bc I have no proof but seems like a safe assumption 
) that we will be seeing a lot of Evoker glyphs since there are 0 in the game currently. But what about the rest of the classes? Some classes like monk an Paladin (imo) are heavily lacking in glyphs and would love to see a butt load of new ones added. I feel we need a legion size of new glyphs.
Am I the only one who cares about glyphs? I really really want tons of new ones and to truly feel glyphs makes my spells feel different

You are not alone. I find the glyph cosmetic system to be ridiculously underutilized in this game.
Do you mean how they used to work? When glyphs would actually change the way a spell works? I could see them doing that again, but itās been so many years since weāve had that.

I didnāt know glyphs used to work different but I want 10 options for one spell basically . My best example would be efflorescence the Druid heal spell, and whatās in the middle. I want to be able to have a million customization options so I can feel my character is really customized. Why canāt I have a purple flower in the middle? A little bush? A rose? Idk Iām just making stuff up.
Side note, Druid has the most glyphs for any class (Iām pretty sure at least), so I would rather see other classes get glyphs before Druid but this was my best example for more glyph customization (also this would allow scribes to make a ton of gold and Iām not against that 
)

Rock on! I support this cause.

Expanding glyphs would be cool. Wouldnāt even hate having LK-style glyphs even though they were cookie-cutter!
These days glyphs are for decoration no player power or whatever.
I donāt feel I need power from glyphs, bc that sounds like they would be necessary. I just want to have the option to make my character feel more customized and special by picking between several options for certain abilities (if that makes sense)

Glyphs could singlehandedly make an expansion that much more amazing.

Probably because they have 4 specs. And thats fine. Glyphs shouldnāt necessarily have a class quota.
As far as more. shrug
I dont care either way, personally. But it seems like (in theory) should be an easier thing to do.

I donāt ask for much. Even just changing the color of spells would be welcome. Use the removed animations or NPC exclusive graphics that already exist for the system. Just something.

I mean yes. This is probably a good portion of the āissueā, but I feel like 80% of Druid glyphs are just changing your different forms . I mean there is a chameleon glyph for each form. So even with druids having so many, it dosenāt feel like many since most of their glyphs are just changing their form looks
Theres one for each form, yes. They have 10 total. Shaman, have 8. Mages have 13 (with 6 ones exclusive to water ele). Paladins have 10 as well.
Really the outlier to me, is something like Rogues. They only have 4. And Warlocks have around 16.

Had no idea rogue had so few. I feel hunters are lacking too. Mostly because the hunter ones I think effect abilities they donāt have anymore? I want to say many are for dire bests and I donāt think hunter have that unless talented into? Idk havenāt played my hunter in awhile
The mage one is shocking. Had no idea there were THAT many water ele onesā¦which is stupid bc I swear to god 2% of frosts mages still use their water ele
Here is a good list I found.
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Glyph#Glyphs_by_class
Hunters have 9 total. With 8 of them basically situated around Dire Beast, Harpoon, Flare. And then one for call pet (making it slightly smaller).
So yeah, they can definitely use some variety there.

Likeā¦the fact that Shadow priests doesnāt have access to the shadowy barrier that enemies used in the Stormwind Horrific Vision is baffling to me.
There are assets literally sitting there waiting to be used.
Or the fact that there are zero Drust magic glyphs for any class.
Or the fact that Druids donāt have access to āNightmareā versions of their spells.
I could go on.

I am sooo excited for priests tho (ok Iām over exaggerating Iām mildly happy ) but if youāre a holy priest and talent into (god I forgot the name) the longer cd of mindbender (I always talent into mindbender so Iāve forgotten the name of the 3 min long cd pet). But using glyph of the light spawn will look so cool and make so much sense.
Not a huge thing but a cool glyph that would make so much sense for holy
it would also be nice if we could get existing glyphs fixed. some gylphs wont work on certain specs that now share talents, for example, glyph of thunderstrike cannot be used on arms despite all 3 specs having thunder clap now

For an expansion about a whole profession overhaul, Blizzard did a ****ty job with glyphs. Nothing new, at all.
It would have been an easy win.
