Well, armor glamours I see as mostly meta, just like fantasia.
However there are cases of 'glamours' in lore, particularly some of the more mischievous NPC races showcase it. I don't recall these ever being called 'glamours' and therefore I prefer to see such magics as 'shape shifting' as opposed to 'illusions'. Illusions don't seem go make much sense go me and I personally wouldn't find it fun, unless both magics existed and illusions were simply easier to cast.
I don't see anything wrong with its usage in RP or its usage to explain Au Ra. If you don't want to completely scrap your previous character in a game where alt leveling is extremely frustrating, then you'll need to find an IC reason for why and how your character has been hiding their Au Ra-ness.
But in the end there will still be complaints of it being overdone or too common. But I ask, so what? Glamours should probably be rare to be believable.
Know what else is supposed to be rare?
