I don’t know about you guys, but I would totally pay for “spell skins.” Tired of your run-of-the-mill Paladin abilities? Now they’re sun themed! Champion the cause of Mulgore in the name of An’she! Praise the sun!
Tired of your Void elf warrior not feeling like a true revenant of darkness? BAM! You now have shadowy weapon effects. Want your goblin shaman’s spells to reflect the mechanical nature of the totems from which they derive? Well, I’ve got nothing there, but I’m sure someone at Blizzard could figure it out.
Now, I know that this is a lot of work for Blizzard and work costs money, so I wouldn’t mind if this cost real money and had to be purchased in the WoW store. I’d buy it. I’d buy the crap out of it.

Roll it into glyphs and I’d be down. I really wished night elf and nightborne priests had silver light in their spells instead of golden light. Weirdly the closest I get to playing a priestess of Elune is on my NE balance druid who uses the glyph of stars.

absolutely, i’m still stumped to their aversion to glyphs, since they removed ALOT.
I’d love to switch how the fire/ice shield looks on my mage and that way a glyph wouldnt take away those that like how they originally look

We already pay a sub-fee. Rather than offering to pay for it like it’s some kind of loot box winnable thing, why not instead suggest it more thoroughly to the devs as a means of further character creation, something they constantly say they wish to improve upon? We shouldn’t have to pay even more money for a more immersive experience.

They used to almost chant the fact that “they want to keep adding more cosmetic glyphs” and that’s pretty much exactly what they haven’t done.

I would pay for them by subscribing.
Anything further can absolutely die in a fire.

Seriously, glyphs could be such a huge thing. Even with basic recolours and the like ie changing priest Holy spells to a lunar Elune cyan sort of shade, or fire mages getting blue flames instead.
They don’t necessarily need to be a huge amount of work to be desirable changes.

Agreed. Void Elf Healy priest with dark purple healing spells. Make all of my druid spells either sun themed or astral themed.
I’m down with glyphs that do this sort of thing.

They should, but they stopped at warlock green fire.

It’s a shame, the art team can do lots of cool things, gives options to players that may want something different while keeping the original so win/win.
I’m starting to think they may be looking at the easiest route for the least amount of time spent on maintenance, upkeep, and actually developing them. lazy?
