There seems to be an issue with level scaling… a few days ago i was playing in a lvl 1-15 area, with my lvl 40 character, and i would get what you call “good xp”. Like around 1,5-2K for an event that normally rewards 450xp… i would also find stuff around my level…

But something has happend and now i only find very low level gear, and get normal very LOW xp… meaning its completly a waste of time to go to a lower zone.

Every other things work, my stats and level get scaled correctly, but the rewards are messed up

Regards

I was begining to think that i was the only one having this issue since i can’t really find other threads about it… Guess not many people are doing low level areas with their characters, or doing it on their lvl 80 character so they don’t get XP anyway…

Perhaps i should clarify what exactly is wrong. This was what it used to be:

1. I go to a lvl 1-15 area with my lvl 40 character.
2. I complete a random event
3. Tooltip show i get 350xp
4. I check my XP bar and i get something between 1500-2K xp (something between 5-10% of the xp bar – i don’t remember the exact numbers but it was a lot…)

This is what happens now:
1. I go to a lvl 1-15 area with my lvl 45 character.
2. I complete a random event
3. Tooltip show i get 350xp
4. I check my XP bar and i get 350xp (around 1% of the xp bar)

Nevertheless it would be nice to get an answer if this is an intended change or really a bug?

I asked my friend to confirm this, and he got the same results… He also says that the xp rewards are bugged. The item scaling was fine though. Sometime he got a high level item, and sometime a low…

But the real issue here is the xp. I could understand the change, since it may have been to much xp, for going through low level zones, with your high gear and elite skills, but if they really nerfed it, they could at least make some statement about it so we didn’t have to go and wonder so much what the hell is wrong..

So please ArenaNet just a simple answer and we can let it go
