It seems I am not allowed to scrap vender whites anymore, so where the heck am I supposed to obtain vast amounts of wool while level 80?
Gear drops scale up, past wool levels, due to my level and without vendor scrapping I don’t see any way to get it in bulk beyond the TP.
(I’d rather scrap for monthly anyways)
While some gear does scale up, I’d say the majority does not. My experience as a 80 in the level 1-15 zones is at least a good 75% of the items are for the level of the zone and not my current level.
WvW DOES scale all loot to your level, but PvE does not. I don’t know the exact percentage but it’s not a big number, I am sure. We wanted you to be able to go back to low level PvE maps to farm for low level mats.
I dug a little deeper and it seems that the loot system for WvW is a little more nuanced than I initially thought, and doesn’t always scale the loot to YOUR level. Which explains how you were getting lower level mats.
We went through all of the items sold for Karma and made them No Salvage to address some issues with players converting karma into coin. That’s probably what you are seeing.
