Shadowlands is a huge love letter to the Lich King, the Frozen Throne and WotLK.
You know what was one of WotLK’s main features?
Glyphs!
Add more Glyphs please!

They really seem to have run out of imagination a while ago when it comes to glyphs. Since all they could scrape together for BfA was five different shades of water elemental 
There’s endless potential for re-skinning spells and abilities to bring in entire new class fantasies, like silver spells for Priests of Elune. But for some reason as usual Blizzard would rather do nothing than exert minimal effort to make some people happy…

Not being flippant… but for the same reasons there is not archeology, or extensive side quests. For same reason there are treasures extensively too.
Because they tried to do too much and had to backfill with easier to do things.

With as focused as they are on making covenants unique, it really would’ve been a great opportunity to have glyphs that would add some covenant-unique flair to your abilities.

I agreed with most of your post save for this. There are endless examples of Blizzard catering to the fans complaints and requests.
I haven’t been able to find the glyph to make my female Druid’s travel form a doe on the AH for so long

They could certainly bring some glyphs back that were seemingly removed for no reason at all.
Glyph of Pick Lock says hi.

I’m surprised there aren’t no covenant cosmetic abilities.
Like I want my Shadow Bolt look like Necrotic Bolt
Or Demonic Tyrant that look likes a Lich

Unlucky. I sell them constantly!
But yeah, I wish they’d do more with glyphs as people love being able to customize their characters. I sometimes (always tbh) feel blizzard are too focused on systems and the top players and forget how many people just like… looking cool.

With some things, maybe. Balancing or quality of life changes they’ll respond to. But when it comes to little cosmetic stuff like this or character customizations, stuff that would take extremely minimal amounts of developer time, they just sit on it forever.

Ahhh ty!! 10 chars
I don’t know how much effort it takes them, I’m terrible with that sort of thing. BUT, we did see some examples going into SL, such as weapon enchantment illusions and the new character customization options, so we are moving in the right direction. I think the right thing to do is keep giving feedback, and keep making requests.
I didn’t realize how much I used the DK glyph that makes path of frost reduce fall damage until it was taken away
I died from fall damage a lot the first few weeks after glyphs were killed
So the thing about weapon illusions is they are just shaders. So they are much easier to implement than most glyphs which completely change models and animations in many cases.
YES Bring back glyphs that changed the way your abilities looked and worked.
Glyph of shadow bolt was so fun I would just use it to see the amazing animation at times. It looks like a boring joke now.

Just another side effect of the expansion not being ready on release. Gutted professions with nothing useful besides mass produced legos that can’t even be sold at a profit.

We were, until they announced that there wouldn’t be any more for the expansion, with some core races woefully behind others and allied races virtually untouched. I’m not trying to kill your optimism but it just really does not seem like cosmetic options are a priority or even a passing interest to Blizzard.
