    Default Loot based on Level?

    is it just me or...

    do lower levels have a better chance of recieving better loot than a higher level?

    ex. 1: When pharcyde helped me level in hidden passage, i recieved much more pinks and purples than he did...
    every time

    ex 2:



    ex 3: i seem to get a lot more recipies on my lower level than on my main when farming meathead






    SOLUTION:
    make a min. level needed to recieve loot in a campaign.
    (within 5 levels of the campaign cap reccommended)
    e.h. BS- min of level 50 to recieve loot.

    It would make sense actually if lower levels get better loot. I know I have experienced it from watching serveral leechers lol.

    and yer stuiped leech did nothing turns up 31 mage -_-
    this would be good like 50-56 BS can get pinks
    45-56 Ao3 can get pinks
    40-56 ao2 etc etc but

    higher levels can get loot from forest haven still..

    Just thought i'd throw this in there for consideration. AO3 isn't scaled like everyone thinks. I was level 50 with all high level team (no one under 49) and in a drop from the keeper I got a level 47 fortune bow. Not sure if Sewers are scaled but this brings up the question. If I farm enough will I get a lower level item? Any opinions?

    Hmm... but do you remember if that was your team from the beginning, or was the map initially created by low levels? Sometimes mobs don't rescale right away even if people of a different level join later.

    As for low levels getting better loot than high levels in the same team, I tend to think it's a myth that came about because people really hate it when a low level gets the loot and so they remember those times more. I remember many times when we had a low level in the party and yet the high level got some pink; but no one thinks anything of that and they forget it happened.

    Of course if there are all low levels in a party then the mobs could be scaled accordingly and the loot can be different. But that's not the same issue.
