Major Drop issue after patch
Retired and living in a shack. Relaxing!
Ok weirdly enough these Brackish Scale were ‘red’ in an area where there should only be ‘yellow’ named mobs. They havent respawned in 5mins or so.

i noticed the same thing from 9 kills i received green/blue items and i stopped at 9 once i noticed also reported ingame bug.
Hope this will be seen my Anet fast and prevent exploits! apparently the drops were around character level since someone else tested it and he received level 45-50 items also reported it.
After moving out of queensdale and going back the drop rate went back to normal
Had this with some moas, 2 yellows and some blues around 78-80, nothing since.
Had a lvl 80 rare drop from a level 2 mob as well :/ To be honest I think this is a good idea in a way because it will give higher levels incentive to go to lower level areas though they should adjust scaling better because a lvl 80 in exotics can one shot level 2 mobs easily making it far too easy to farm and we’ll get a brackish skale zerg in stead of orr zerg.

Yup the drop rate is definitely NOT working as intended. I just did the termite event in the Sylvari starting zone and got a stack of level 80 gear, including 2 rares.
What should I do with this stuff now…?
Edit: I deleted it all (cry) because I felt somehow guilty for finding an 80 rare on a level 2 mob.

This seems to be like quite serious stuff…
I just did a renown heart in Wayfarer Foothills, killed around 25 lvl 11 moles and got 10 lv80 items, including 3 rares.
//EDIT
I can confirm that after the first wave of creeps, the drops have normalized.

As far as i know you could always get level 70+ stuff in downgraded areas, i got quite a few rares while killing mobs outside the dungeons before this patch.
But if the chance is so high then yes, something must be wrong.

Addionally, mobs spawned by events (the ones that don’t give you bonus xp for being alive for a long time) seem to drop high level gear (still in Wayfarer Foothills), although the normal mobs drop items according to their level.
I’ll add that while ive vendored all of the drops, feel free to take the silver out of my account. Totaled about 8s + the rare amulet.
Havent seen the bug in action since but its certainly an issue so if someone can check it out ASAP that would be great.
