Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

This is untrue. Every item drops at your level. When you're lv68, the items dropping for you are ilv68 while their required levels might be different.

There might be the possibility for iLv 67-69 items to drop, but it's obviously significantly rarer, or the gear that actually requires Level 70 is scaled COMPLETELY differently from the gear that requires a lower level.

There's absolutely no reason for the first drop of any weapon class at Level 70 being +40-60% damage, and all the armor being +10-20% Damage+Toughness when compared to the gear I was getting between 61-69, even weapons I got a map before I hit 70. If there is no actual loot dropping issue here, then there's a massive scaling issue. Something is not right, and it needs to change.

Plus, if they're not going to show us iLevels, which I can't find anywhere where it does, we can't really confirm if that's true or they're just covering their ass. One way or another there's serious problems with the grind to 70.

Edit: And reading more of that thread proves I'm not the only one with this problem or this opinion.
