What happens is…
As you assign an element a 50% transparency. You can still see that when you select it again if is not grouped BUT, where it changes, (where it says it’s 100%) Is after you have grouped it with somthing else. That “group” is then 100% opacity unless you change that whole group. So, even if you select that with the open arrow tool, it’s showing the transparency (as a group). That still prints out as the transparency even if it’s grouped. It just says what opacity the group is.
You can have many different elements with various transparency within, but once grouped, all will show that group as 100%.
Pierre is also correct.

Which one is the open arrow tool you are referring to? The direct selection tool? I hate to say it. If you have a group of let`s say 3 different objects with different opacity(transparency) settings then group them you can still select each object with the direct selection tool and the opacity shown is not 100% but rather the opacity assigned to that particular object. You can even use the selection tool and just double click that object and still get it`s correct opacity setting displayed. What version of Illustrator is everyone using here?
