I tried to file a bug report about this a while back, but it got rejected because it's not technically a bug even though it's essentially something they broke by changing the game.

Removing the weathered versions of weapons was intentional overall, yes. But I think this is an unintended side effect.

The vast majority of weapons are identical between their base and upgraded versions except that the upgraded version is dyeable, so glamour-wise nothing was lost when the base versions became unavailable.

However, these are a different story. The base versions don't glow and the upgraded versions do, so there is a separate value to the base versions that now can't be purchased.

The people tasked with simplifying the weapon upgrade system probably didn't think (or even know) about the glamour value of one old set of second-rate tome weapons, but... well, it's glamour. We care.

I'd like to see the weathered versions available again.
