The theory is as stated above, where the map scales to the highest person. However, this is not actually the case.
When you run cross levels with a large level gap between players, the mobs frequently appear to go far beyond the highest player's level and turn pseudo-elite. This makes it totally insane for the 41's who are trying to carry the low-level through. It's how the game discourages inter-level play. I don't have hard numbers on it, because it's such a well known phenomenon and has been around since the game began. This is also why many guilds restrict their levels, because otherwise they need to explain over and over to the junior members WHY the end gamers will not run with them.
