[DEV Question] Why is this allowed?

specially in a game were the weapons "weight" is so considerable to a characters overall potency.

Yeah, this actually irked me the most. Putting on an i110 weapon, I had nearly half the heals I should have. Means that person had [approximately] half the DPS they should have. Made me cringe so hard.

yeah, pretty much. They become at most a "twink" of the weapons intended lvl from the other stats but still nothing more than a "beefier lvl 50 with a 110 weapon, doing lvl 60 content". Admittedly the game does little to push this point across though, and only ppl that have been active with some manner of end-game will even know the weapons weight relevance. SE really does need to fix the weapons ilvl value in regards to determining "entry" into content.
