Why are Glowy Weapons...

[Tsiron]

... the ones that can just be bought off the MB?

It seems backwards, given that people tend to gravitate towards them since they're flashier and etc. The fact that Artifact Weapons only get their various effects once upgraded just makes this weirder.

I'm (apparently) something of a minority in that I much prefer weapons that don't glow or sparkle or whatever, so it's kind of frustrating that those are the ones that require the most work*...?
