I'm level 70 - why are 90% of the items on vending machines lvl 68

And why does iwijara’s loot like 50% lvl 68 items this is beyond frustrating

“Because f*ck you.” - Random Number Generator

That’s pretty much all it is. RNG is just being a bully to you. :confused:

#3

why doesn’t the game recognize someone is at level cap and scale the loot to that level like it does the mobs?

#4

I don’t know. That’s something only the Devs can explain. It’s been this way since BL1 (abit, worse in BL1). I doubt they’ll change it for BL3…

#5

Because TrollBox

#6

Even when everything has scaled with you, gear can still be 2 levels lower. Has been since the first game.

to make you constantly farm.

This makes some sense when playing co-op, since you’re not always going to be exactly the same level as your partners, and everyone deserves a shot at loot they can actually use immediately. It’s never made any sense for single-player, though, except for the “one less conditional switch to worry about” sense. Of course, if each player got their own instanced loot it wouldn’t matter… Hopefully that will be a thing in BL3, since there aren’t the same memory limits on on XB1/PS4/PC builds that there are for 360/PS3 ones.

As much as I’d like to see instanced loot, I sincerely doubt GBX would put it in Borderlands. All I ever hear is how much they like loot-sharing aspect, despite the headaches like ninja-looting. They even took out the “(player) has received (gun)” messages that were there in the first game, inexplicably.
