CDPR I really REALLY want to keep using iconic weapons, the problem is that the upgrade cost increases exponentially (eventually requiring hundreds of rare epic and or legendary components depending on when you upgrade that item) there should be some sort of cap in place I often find myself just giving up on and scrapping iconic weapons due to the fact that once you actually get ahold of enough components you have far out leveled the weapon by 2 or 3 level resulting in a vicious cycle where you have an under-leveled iconic weapon.
another option would be to make it so that Iconic weapons can be repeatedly crafted at all rarities but still requiring the same weapon to be used so that you can simply have one at your current level
