Do you like the Armor Enchantment's visual effect that you're using?

Now, I'm still new to the game and only know a few, but I believe these ones are most popular:
Soulforged (trust me it looks Really bad on anything but black; it KILLs any Armor with glowing white/silver color on it)
Barkshield (I actually like this one if not for the horrible buff it gives)
It all started from this internal thread: Disabling Soulforged Armor visual?

However I'd love the option to turn the effect off.
Not a lot of point in being stylish since I'm always bathed in ink.
I despise it.
It sort of works on my TR and HR; they wear black and the crawling shadow effect works for a follower of Vhaeraun, but my other chars? Ugh no. My DC I no longer use? His blue/silver ice theme is completely ruined by SF. My GWF? Yeah, her green celtic theme is also screwed up by the ugly of SF. My CW? Doesn't match either, and after a race reroll that forced Mod 3 appearance on her, it does a weird swirling second neck thing.
My DC's MH set that had all his transmutes/dyes is left with a lesser frostburn that gives a lovely ice effect that looks great, but FB is awful and not worth using, and the HP set he was last actually using I didn't even bother to dye/transmute, because frickin' SF.
WTB: Turning armor enchant visual off.
Also weapon enchant. Terror looks godsawful on my DC's ice scepter, too. And my TR's Perfect Vorpal is going to give me a seizure one of these days flashing like that.
Weapon enchants don't bother me so much.. except for my TRs and HR, who have it on one hand and not the other. And the greater plaguefire on my GF, which makes him look like he's waving his magic baby wand, curing diaper rash for young and old...
Yeah.. ok. If we can't disable these things.. at least let the weapon and armor enchants only display them when dealing or taking damage, respectively. Or at least when in PE, turn them off.

Lmao. I'm running with lesser for the exactly same reason.
Now, to provide everyone with the information, I've gonna post this here:
Otherwise, I leave my Thunderhead in on my main, or some other enchant on my alts. I only have one character that stays in Soulforged all the time, which is my main rogue, because it suits him. Still, I won't upgrade it because the effects for anything higher than lesser on soulforged is just too much for me, aesthetically.
Personally, I voted Dislike. I'd like to be able to toggle my enchants' visual effects on and off. I'd also like to be able to choose between the levels of appearance. For instance, if I am wearing a Greater Soulforged and for whatever reason, I'd like to choose to display the Lesser effect instead. Make such so you can only change to a lesser visual effect than what you own, so a Lesser cannot be displayed as a Greater, only vice versa. This latter is less of a desire for me though than the toggling option. Being able to toggle the visual effects is a no brainer to me and something I'd really love.
I'd even pay for it, if it were an account or character unlock, as long as the price was reasonable.
Mod Note: Changed the Poll "Hate" option to "Dislike" as to be more applicable and less biased. I also added an "Other opinion (post below)" choice for posters with comments like Tousseau mentioned above.

The texture-only stuff is 50-50 depending on what you're wearing. It's the stupid TREE growing out of my chest while wearing a Merchant's Outfit (Fashion tab) that really irks me. Personally, I'd like it all a lot better if they at least didn't show on the Fashion tab. My vote is to just turn them all off until they at least fix this. But I know better than to hold my breath on that one.

However, I do agree that the abikity to turn off (or even transmute) visual effects should be fundamental.
The only way this is coming is with a Zen item similar to the Dye Remover. There is just no money in it otherwise.
A 'feature request' auction house where players can commit zen to a
specific request, with the ability to retract your zen so you can commit it
to another feature request. Then if devs commit themselves
to a feature, the zen get spend.
I know I would throw in a few bucks to get invisible soulforged.
If enouph people do it would be unprofitable to NOT implement it.
Not THAT easy to implement, so no expectations on short timeframe,
but it would be a source of revenue AND motivate the devs to
implement stuff we actually want. Maybe they would even get a paycheck
for stuff they where going to implement anyway.

As far as controlling the amount of the visual effect...idk maybe use something like the companion appearance menu? Not as important as boosting other enchants.
All in all the visuals are awesome. But it's been long overdue for diversity to be the new black.
I do have to defend the developers though , surely it cannot be as simple as changing just one single line of code or 30 seconds work like a lot of people seem to think it is ,or if it is can't the people who say it also suggest the code change that needs to happen and post it and explain where to insert it into the main client on the server and also the change that would have to be made to players clients?
