i have found this very true, i had run about 20 mishes on the same map farming with 54s on a team of 8 and no sign of even a pool A recipe drop better off a Purple drop. this frustrated me and i look forward to a fix with this bug
fair enough the convenience of the quick SK to a level 50 for low lvled chars but what about making it an option to turn the SKing back to the -5 maximum SK to a level 50 (50 leader... with 45s still getting xp)
also allowing for MA the level bracket to also go back to level 45
i just want to suggest this as an option due also to lack of population on some servers and as a farmer i would find this an efficient option.
