It is fair and logical. In these type of games, weapons/gear are rarely, if at all , ever allowed to keep ascending with the game's level increases. They are useful for a certain time, but when the game increases levels, those weapons become obsolete and are replaced by new weapons. Which is great for us players cause it forces the devs to create new ones. The fact they are ascending some of them at all is a good thing. The issue you and others are having with this is that you're scared the weapons you like using wont be one of the ones picked to ascend. That's something yall have to get over. Prime ex: gally. I like using gally as much as the next guardian, but i'm excitedly waiting/hoping for the day it's not the go to weapon cause the game's levels have passed it by. That means there are newer (and hopefully better) weapons in the game we can use.
