What is "Match My Level" For?
It gives you items you can buy within a certain range of your level. Yes that’s 5 higher and 5 lower.
I’m not sure why it includes levels higher than your own (I guess because in theory you could easily enough level up to use it), but the purpose is to find gear appropriate to your level. The reason why it’s a level range instead of a single level, I believe, is to avoid being over-specific and missing items which might still have been useful to you.
I think it’s fine to include 5 levels lower/higher when leveling, but to include level 75 gear when you’re level 80 is pretty pointless. Luckily this is just a little shortcut that doesn’t have to be used.

A lot of people at level 80 by rares to forge, or for salvage even. I think it’s fine. You can always put in 80 if you want.
So what im getting from all this is, its supposed to simplify the search for gear but fails by giving you a level range instead of matching my actual level
Glad i didnt miss anything, kinda had me worried.
Indeed. I find the “Match My Level” function to be completely useless since it doesn’t actually adjust the min and max level range to, you know, match my level.
One other thing that I find quite perplexing (even on the old TP) is that the max level number does not increase when the min level number exceeds it.
Searching for something level 40 minimum and level 40 maximum, then increasing the minimum to 41, should result in the max automatically matching since min > max is an invalid search query. Min should be incapable of exceeding max.
One very small and simple additional bit of code would be most welcome so that:
- If Min > Max
- Then Max = Min
It’s quite an unnecessary hassle to have to always adjust both numbers when increasing your search parameters by one or two digits.
