I've always wished there were a bigger incentive to use gleam - the tension between the short-term benefits of doing drugs and the potential for harm is not super interesting without more serious short-term benefits. Rather than an interesting tension, it's mostly just an RP thing whenever anyone decides to do it for a brief while.
The problem has always been that the short term benefits obviously can't be euphoria like make real-life drugs (since players presumably don't care about text-euphoria) and any substantive combat implications could get ugly - you don't want people to feel obligated to do gleam to compete or for gleam to become another basic upkeep cost for combatants.
But having it affect rage generation wouldn't have that problem, and sort of fits the notion of the crazy stimulant gleam is supposed to be.
I really hope they'll consider putting this in. What a cool idea.
I don't mean a little gleam. I mean:
You, Sir, are evil.
Maybe if you add a crippling loss to bloodrage over use., but even then, no thanks.
If by chance this idea does become a thing, please also consider adding an alternative that Team Good can use.
Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."
Also, I just tested Korkma on a Sirrocian orc and it looks like Fear still isn't doing anything at all.
Kind of disappointed that neither of the shaman afflictions seem to be useful at all right now.

It's still better to use a shieldbreak than Recklesness. 17 < 18 and 9 < 10 whether you're alone or in a group. Fear still does seemingly nothing at all.
They can be consumed to power big attacks, but every other affliction actually does something useful too.
Priests and paladins: why is it that for classes that are tied to one another via bloodsworn, the priest afflictions have no overlap benefit with paladin battlerage abilities? One would think that priests and paladins would have -something- to reflect the traditional synergy between devotionists.
