If need be I'll "dig up" the post for you from the devs, explaining that lvl 99 Afterglow, is something they only expect, what like 1% of the player base to achieve...or something completely extreme.
The "Afterglow" effect was added (and I'm relating what I remember, since I still need to find the post) as a "reward" for those players that want to show off a "trophy effect" sorta speak. So... if you don't consider a level 99 R/M/E without Afterglow finished, well I'm sorry for you.
I truly doubt anyone but the hardest of core players will have an Afterglow weapon and that again, is a significantly small percentage of the entire population of collective servers players together. In effect, my opinion, a level 99 R/M/E is a finished weapon--however I assume we'll just have to agree to disagree on this point.
