When it comes to the first stage of upgrades for relic/mythic/empyrean weapons, this is considered to be the weapon’s complete form and is also the one the developers expect most players can achieve. They don’t want to dangle a carrot in front of everyone saying, “you can make these weapons even more powerful!” and then make it so only small fraction of players achieve this.

On the other hand, as some of you have already mentioned, the second stage of these weapon enhancements is left for those players who wish to go above and beyond—the “completionists” so to speak. This is why there will be no difference in weapon skill damage or other stats and only an AoE benefit as well as a special effect will be given for completing this upgrade.
Interesting words chosen here; I'd say deliberate. Well played sir. (No Sarcasm)

Is there any way we could get just a tiny bit more "oomf" in the current "Final Form"? Yes I've seen the stats and such, and no I haven't checked em out on the test server, but could you just toss a cherry on top and give the aftermaths a little more potency?

Y'all were able to make some last minute changes to things like Bully and Scarlet Delirium, maybe a tiny bit of love on those aftermaths? You know, to make em, well, noticeable?
