I've been level 20 for a bit and I've been playing for 2 days total and every engram, free weapon, armor or anything, literally does not increase in light or decrease, the attack/defense on the items are all worse than the items I all have and I seriously need help I don't know what's wrong, I want to proceed in the game but i can't get anything help please.

You should also make sure you pay attention to Mods. In D2 you can have a legendary 270 item that has a +5 mod in it, making it a natural 265 item, and get a blue 270 without a mod. If you infuse that blue into the legendary you will end up with a higher light item. The Legendary will become a natural 270 power with a +5 mod making its overall power level 275.

Agreed Likely by design to slow people down and keep them grinding

As @hoorayforkyle states, there is a small power cap there. Also you need to do more end game activities at that point to get some gear that is higher, and I would suggest grinding public events but make sure you unlock the heroic versions in order to get the chance at possibly getting an exotic.

There is a soft cap at 265 power. Once there, you’ll need to do weekly milestones that give a powerful engram. Those powerful engrams will be higher power.
