Guild Wars 2

There should be a way to upgrade Exotic items to Ascended via Mystic Forge. Then everyone will be happy no one will complain about Ascended items being difficult to get. Example :

For WvW Players : Exotic + 100 Badges of Honor + 2 types of other useless material

For PVE : Exotic + 50 Ectos + 2 types of other useless material

For Fractal Players: Exotic + Gift of Ascension + 2 types of other useless material

Yesterday I got 3 level 80 rare in 30 min from a starter area with level 80 char. Today I’m getting low level white loot from the same zone. Anyone know the new loot mechanics. Do only dynamic events loot scales to char level?
