[DEV Question] Why is this allowed?

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Bringing attention to a loophole is a thing. Stating a solution for that loophole is another. And frankly, I still think the problem here is that the weapon is too important. For example, we all know that accessories cost less tome than little pieces or armor, which in turn cost less that big pieces. It's because accessories give the least stat and big armors give the most.

But, with such a huge emphasis put on weapons, we could end in situation where upgrading several pieces of armor would give you less DPS than the weapon alone, even tough the weapon is clearly "cheaper".

Why shouldn't the weapon be weighted heavily? It's intended to be our highest contributing damage boost. Making it more comparable to accessories seems silly. I, likewise, don't see why requiring people to have say ilvl 220 gear equipped to enter a ilvl 230 fight is an issue. Reducing gear weight just to accommodate people too lazy to properly upgrade is precisely why people don't. They already lack the incentive due to how easy content is. This only further diminishes it.
