Can I have my difficulty level back...
Are you certain you're playing on that difficulty? What rank mobs are you going up against? And what contacts stories are you doing? Because it gets thrown out if you're talking about mobs in the MA.

I'm playing on default heroic mode. I never change it. And I am most certainly playing normal missions and story arcs, not MA, and all have the same problem...
Heroic has ALWAYS been mobs of +0/+1 level. This goes back to the very beginning of the game, before there were more difficulty levels. You should be seeing white or yellow minions, and yellow or orange lieuts. This is what heroic has always been.

Yes you should be seeing that, but primarily white minions, not primarily yellow minions
Some where along the line it switched to primarily yellow minions with a scant few white minions or none at all rather than the opposite. I don't know when this happened but I know it did.
You can even see it more clearly with the MA cuz changing the setting of how the mobs are laid out can turn a relatively easy mission that has a mob or two ear each other to having huge blockades of mobs in one spot that are near impassible without dying several times >.> due to having several mob groups all in the same spot and having their levels raised to yellow/orange rather than what they should be...the white/yellow groups
It's always been random. Depending on the size of the mission, I've gotten nothing but even-level, and nothing but +1s. It happens sometimes. Sometimes, you get a string of all +1s in a row. It's a symptom of the random number generator.

[/ QUOTE ]Not entirely. There are a few different patterns that a mission can follow, which you can also select for your MA arcs. A random spread of +0s and +1s is most common, but there's also pushing the +1s to the back of the mission, and adding -1s near the beginning.

Yeah, it can vary depending on the mission. If you get all hard minions at the front, they will get easier towards the end.
If EVERY minion you see in every mission you run is yellow, then I don't know what to say. Except, don't go to Vegas, don't ever play Russian Roulette, and don't try to buy a new house on a mortgage.
It also depends on your level and the mobs you are fighting.
If you are level 30 and take a Warriors Paper mission, some minons are level 29 becasue that is where they cap out at 30 and cannot have lvl 31 ones, so ou get 29 and 30 instead of 30 and 31.
Also Lost/Rikti missions.
lvl 1-19 human size minon, lvl 20-29 Headman size minion, lvl 30+ Rikti
The mobs you are fighting may be determining the level they are, not really your level.

If you're sure that you're on heroic, you can petition in game and have a GM diagnose the problem with you while you play. Maybe this can give you a clue.
This sounds stupid, but you know I like playing on Heroic and I've notice that at some point it ceased to exist.
I would like it when I go in a mission minions are ALL WHITE, Lieutenants are ALL YELLOW, etc.
You can say you are trying to ramp up difficulty through the level or balance it through out but the fact of the matter is those barely work. I almost never see a white tier mob unless i level up during the mission and I am always set to heroic.
i am sure this was not the intention of the devs to have it like this so please fix it or make the coding so there is no "ramp up" or "balance" because ramp up in heroic you don't get ramp up in it slowly gets harder you get ramp as in it suddenly becomes impossible to play as casually as you were...
