... and I thought Power_NA did bad suggestions. I'm not even sure if there's a logical place to start with why this is a bad idea.
Drops in that pool are determined by the level of the mob, not the level of the player. For good reason.
Low level mobs are easy. E-A-S-Y Particularly when exemplared. With powers at +5 levels and now several set bonuses that do not go away regardless of your level, Exemplaring downward is nowhere near the challenge of fighting things near your level.
There are enough rewards for exemplaring, there doesn't need to be one that would be so amazingly abusable as this one.

and the NEW WORLDS WORST IDEA championship goes to......... T_C_S. you must defend your title at least once every 30 days or forfiet it to the next person in line.
this is one of the, if not THE, worst idea yet.

This is exactly why I'm all for this idea. I could get all level 33 IOs for my fire/shield scrapper(except the purple sets) and farm level 30 content all day. I would love all the purples.

I propose to give level 47-50s (or just 50s) a chance to have a recipe dropped for them to be procedurally converted to a purple, no matter their exemplar level. Say if it were a costume piece recipe. If it dropped to a real 19, it would not get a chance to convert to a purple.
