Weird scaling on 4* weapons?

I and some friends have run some testing, and it turns out that upgrading a weapon to 4* (tested Tempered Calibur/Cold Iron Carver and Shadowtech Alchemer Mk2/Shadow Driver) actually results in them doing less damage, even at max level. It kinda sucks to spend that much time getting the weapon and have it be worse for the most part. I understand that you don't want people with better gear rolling lower tiers, but this seems like a little much.

I agree. Cap the damage if you want, but don't make higher weapons actively worse than their lower counterparts.

Using a 4-star weapon in Tier 2 will result in de-buffed damage output. If you try the same in Tier 3 you will notice a much more dramatic difference in damage.

Yes we know Dogrock, the problem is that 4* and 5* are being nerfed to the point of being WORSE then 2* gear when they should be better then 2* gear. I know they have to be nerfed but why not make them perform as effectively as 2* gear or very slightly better since it is, after all, better quality gear then the 2* stuff.
