Glyphs are there to make our lives easier, speeding up actions, reducing cool-downs, removing the need for reagents, tweaking spell effects etc.

Minor Glyphs as cosmetic changes- Lets see, theres Glyph of the Bear cub and Glyph of the Penguin. Both are minor mage Glyphs and are the ONLY cosmetic ones in the game. Kinda easy to say they should all be cosmetic when you dont have any to chose isnt it?

Making druid form customisation glyphed (as most of the complaints stated) meant that pretty much any druid is going to have to chose between utility minor glyphs and actually getting to look different for the first time in YEARS when we fight.

I agree, this is a choice that each druid would have to face individually. Personally, I'd have given up a glyph slot to stop looking at the worst model in wow, but thats just me. Two slots though? Well maybe I could have lived with bear form...

Personally I think that Blizz made the right call with not making our forms use Glyphs. I also think mages got gypped and everyones so use to mage QQing that no-ones noticed (plus penguins ftw!)
