Power Creep is also the result of meta balance. If you want players to put Mountain Top and Recluse down without retiring them, the only actual way would be to release weapons that are better than them, that’s power creep. You can’t argue against that. Others have made fair points about it being an encounter design issue as well, which is probably true.

Only for them to reissue the same guns a few seasons later.

If it’s the result of a poorly managed database, it would make sense that they couldn’t update the old weapons with new systems in mind and simply took the easiest and fastest way possible of copying the item and introducing it as “new”
