If getting to cap was any sort of difficult or time consuming as it was back in XI I'd see a reason to gripe about it, but with the numerous quests, duty roulettes, and leves to do I really don't see an issue with providing more incentive to get to 50.
It seems to me the development of the glamour system was more geared towards endgamers that are tired of wearing a mishmash of i90 stuff than it is about roleplay. I've had Li's RP outfits on a gear set for some time now, the glamour system does pretty much nothing to alter how I'm going to use it, but for my mix of Cleric's/Allaghan for endgame? It's super exciting.
