Guild Wars 2

I really love that the loot drops in WvW has been increased via the last patch to be pretty much equivalent to the chance for loot drops in PvE. It has been a LONG time coming for that. Much appreciated.

However, I don’t really get why I’m a level 80 in WvW and getting “heavy loot” bags that contain items in the Tier 1 – Tier 3 level.

If I’m a level 80 I can mass kill enemies in Orr (not that difficult) and get lots of those “moldy” bags. Why don’t I get moldy bags as a level 80 in WvW? It just seems strange that I get so many lower tier crafting material as a level 80. While it’s great I’m getting bags, I would expect them to contain more resources of my level.

I believe the quality of loot you receive is not just based on your level, but also the level of the enemies you kill. Like if you’re a Lv. 80 and you kill a Lv. 30 upscaled to 80, you’ll receive Lv. 30 loot or the respective materials.

Although this is just conjecture based on my experiences in WvW, so I could be wrong.

I think you are probably right, and I think that should change.

In PvE you have an advantage because you can choose what level of enemies to kill. If you go to Orr you know that all your enemies will be level 80 or around there (sometimes even higher).

In WvW you have a disadvantage. You don’t CHOOSE who you fight, you just fight them. So if anything that means that the chance for the level 80 drops should be higher, to make up for that.

I got 3 lvl 80 rares and 2 cores earlier.
I’m not complaining.

To be honest, i even like getting lower level mats at times, it means that when i level my crafting skills, i dont have to buy everything, and in saving for my legendary i also won’t have as much of the lower level mats i’ll ahve to buy or try to go farm in PvE

You get loot commensurate with the level of the enemy you kill. It doesn’t really matter whether you have a choice who you kill or not … you don’t get good loot for an easy kill.

I can get plenty of good loot from easy kills in PvE…
