Would be interesting if we could upgrade weapons/armor indefinitely.

Literally just grind and level up their power/stats - no new mechanics, effects nor graphics.

This way if you really like a weapon or armor you can improve it stats and make it scale pretty much indefinitely.

tecnically you can by reforging and equiping stat boosting armors, equipments etc

You can max that out, so it isn't indefinite.

The problem with this is that it could make the game feel stale if you find a particularly powerful weapon early on.

Nah. People will always try the weapons/armor to see if they like it.

If upgrading is easy then they will upgrade the new stuff too.
If upgrading is difficult then the gap between upgraded old stuff and new stuff isn't going to be huge.

if upgrading is easy then they just won't bother getting new stuff because there's no reason to.

If upgrading is hard literally no one will bother with it until endgame.

Yeah, if you find a good weapon early in the game, you could upgrade it to be God-Tier.
But in turn, the upgrade levels should be earned through bosses. Like one upgrade with Demonite, one with Shadow Scales, one with bones, etc

Upgrading won't be free though. So you still have to "do work". If you want to skip a boss and spend time buffing up your existing stuff, that should be allowed.

You might want the new stuff anyway just to see how it's like.
