Why don't Season 1 and 2 Swords not Glow?

How come these weapons specifically not glow while their Mace and Dagger counterparts do? I understand that they have a natural glow (a weak purplish glow), but I feel as if my Mongoose and or executioner's enchants should show over them. Not only is it a disadvantage for someone else (because they are unaware of what my swords are enchanted with) but it's also disappointing to me. Whenever someone, or even myself, looks at my own weapons - I tend to believe they are enchantless.

=( Why! :(

We're moving towards a "glowless" look for this reason specifically, so that enchants won't be hidden or overlap improperly; however, the older seasons aren't being changed.
