…for the sake of exclusivity, by removing features (i.e. the glowing effects), is a really dumb idea. Just saying

I don’t have beta so I can’t confirm this myself. But apparently, only the mythic nathria raid tints glow on Beta, whereas on WoW head all the tints have their own unique glows.
Alts.

https://www.wowhead.com/news=318084/castle-nathria-raid-armor-in-shadowlands-dressing-room-lfr-normal-heroic-mythic- Read this again, they updated it. The glow on everything but elite/mythic is gone
Even the Ardenweald covenant armor?!
No, this doesn’t affect covenants, only the raid sets
Oh thank god.
Ok.
And?
It’s still one of the best looking raid tiers ever.
It would be different if they had opted for this design decision because it looked better, or if they didn’t have enough time to make all the sets look as cool as the “real” ones.
…but they didn’t. The exclusivity of the effects is the point, and it is absolutely toxic to 95% of the playerbase. Get that elitist stuff out of my face

So toxic. The lack of glowy non-Mythic raid gear has shredded my soul!
Seriously, since the Mythic versions this time around aren’t unique designs let them have a glowy effect. The gear design itself is still stellar across all difficulties.

They removed the glowing bits from the non-mythic Nathria sets on the beta.
Though this isn’t reflected in mode viewer yet.
That’s just comedy.

Am I the only one that prefers my armor not look like a rave?
I’m honestly not seeing the issue, they are all glowy still?
Imagine if the Leather set didn’t have the glow 
so much better
I’m so dumb I scrolled down further to see the ‘issue’.
Guess I’ll be the one to say they look better without the effects.

Sorry the Leather looks way better without the glowing in my opinion.

Much better without the glow.
Good. If Mythic doesn’t reward exclusive appearance then they should get pretty little effects.
Let some things be special, man. It’s okay to not have things other people do.

No and honestly I’d like to actually have some more practical looking armor…the huge shoulder armor always cracks me up…it reminds me of the heavy, craptastic flackjackets that made us all feel like a damn turtle on my last deployment…don’t fall down cause its gonna take the whole team to help you stand back up.
I mean seriously the neck protector came up to my doggone eyeballs.
But sleaker armor for the light armor classes wouldn’t go amiss on any class especially the lighter armored classes (hunters, shamans, rogues etc) would be nice to see. DH already has some sleak looks for Tmog at least.
My favorite part of that is the inexplicable glowing hat.
