Should a low-level reward necessarily be less than a high-level reward?

You're fully understandable, I basically didn't even think about it until your 'ps' at the end.

I think the problem with games that don't set levels on rewards, is that they don't have a way to stop people from ignoring the content by obtaining very powerful things with RMT.

Those games are fun at the beginning, when no one has high powered gear to just give to low level friends, or to sell. Then, after that, it usually feels worse.

It seems like you just want horizontal rewards to be equal throughout the lvling process and I'm somewhat sure that this is already the case.

Vertical progression will have to stay lvl-dependent due to the stuff Azherae mentioned.

I guess a proper feedback note is that if the game lowers droprates to zero as the player exceeds the target in level (this would not necessarily work properly in Ashes as we currently understand Ashes to work), I don't mind if low level rewards are only slightly less valuable than high level rewards.

I think it's pointless for high level players to be spending their time camping low level Elites/similar targets to then oneshot them and take the rewards, but there are ways to make this less stupid.

But overall, if a low level reward is still 'good overall' for many levels, I'm fine with it as long as higher level players mechanically 'can't' get the drop. Unfortunately this only works in games where you can't attack someone else's tagged mob, and even in those games, high level help being given to some low level player to manipulate the droprate is still basically impossible to avoid.
