Guild Wars 2

Fighting mobs in zones above my level with no problems except I have to wait to level up to 2 or 3 levels before using the gear that is drop. Before that patch I was only able to get gear below the level I was at most of the time. Leveling is taking longer even though most events are easier to complete.

I used to regularly play 2-6 levels above my char level prior to patch. If memory serves, what you’re describing was always the case.

Pretty much this, and they’ve also said they made mobs easier to kill (check AC for instance).
