It's a problem Bungo created because they don't want to put us against stronger enemies every DLC, all the game from start to end has to be on a baseline, another reason to stay on the baseline is PVP even thought there plenty of ways to prevent that. It's also the reason this game lost all sense of progression since shadowkeep, our guardians got nerfed so hard we regressed, the only thing that can give a small feel progression are the mod builds. To tackle this self made problem they use the awe full power system, now we have to trade in our guns and weapons for similar stuff but with higher max power.
