Guild Wars 2

Please stop the Underleveled Exotic rewards

Very few things in this game raise my ire more than after a few weeks of drought; I finely get an Exotic drop, only to find that it is Level 76-79.

All my characters have been level 80 for a few years now and I usually go weeks without an exotic drop. So when I see that orange border around the icon in my inventory, I get giddy as a school girl. Then, I have my hopes dashed when I hover over my coveted gift from the RNG gods and see it is less than L80.

I mean sure, I check the TP and sell it, if it is worthwhile, or chop it for another RNG attempt for Dark Matter and/or Ecto. But when I finely do get an Exotic drop and it is not realistically useable (being underleveled), or worth very little on TP and then chops up to one Ori and a 3SP Sigil, needless to say, it is quite unfulfilling.

Just to put things in a bit of perspective: I have ~5000 hours logged since launch, 16k+ in APs, 170% Magic Find and yet never have I had a Pre, Ascended or Etched item drop from a Mob OR Mystic Forge. Wait… check that… I have indeed had One Etched Weapon drop in the last 3 years and you guessed it, it was level 78(unable to be converted to a Corrupted Weapon)the exhilaration was brief till I was crushed back to underleveled reality.

As you can see, Lady Luck and I are not on speaking terms in this game, so when I finely do get a potentially good drop it is very exciting and then frequently demoralizing.

P.S. The same holds tor Rare rewards but at least due to the sheer number of those I receive, at least half of those are level 80
