Putting a fancy dress on a sock puppet doesn't magically change it from being a sock puppet. They would need to actually make the beefed up egis feel like a primary component of the class. Which they don't want to do, instead the devs want Ruin and Bio and Miasma, non-summon-related-things, as the actual damaging force behind the class.

And if we do this, it will both require an actual rework of the class, AND make the summoner feel worse anyways for any of a variety of reasons.

Egi glamours won't fix anything, it will just make a terrible mechanic feel even weirder when the egis keep hitting like wet noodles instead of whatever more imposing form you choose.

In the short term this can be corrected by focusing more damage towards it E.G. by dropping Energy Drain/Siphon/Fester/Painflare entirely, but the egi system itself is broken at its lowest level, and probably never can be actually fixed.
