“Level Scaling should be optional…” This is true and this is how it should be
(and pre-launch I thought this is how it would be)
Say you are lvl 80 in a 15-25 zone and you get scaled to level 15
Here you SHOULD be able to optionally lower yourself MORE!
In gw1 we had the choice of normal or hard mode, not possible in gw2 since we now have an open world but this is the way to do it now!
Regarding loot, you could get more and more loot of your actual level, the more you are scaled down to make it more rewarding
