Or you'd have a weapon that was WAY overpowered for the starting levels. 4th edition seems to be designed specifically for this concern I've told my players You can have 1 magic weapon (must be within levels 1 to 5) that is a family heirloom. As you progress the heirloom will automatically gain more power every 5 levels.
