About every third or fourth piece of random blue equipment I've gained from the Heroic Encounter reward in the Well of Dragons has been a level 59 item. It is literally GARBAGE...can't even be stuck into artifact equipment for a tiny little bit of RP. Has anyone else seen this? I'll be honest...this had better be a bug.
It was a bug when it was happening in lair chests and they fixed it (but of course those lairs required level 60 just to get in, so lev59 gear was clearly not intended.) I'd submit it as a bug if I personally encountered it. Seriously, if it is intended, it's like..
'GOOD JOB! HERE IS A BIT OF INCONVENIENCE AS REWARD FOR YOUR EFFORTS!!' XD
Dear Cryptic, please, for the love of God... take away those ****ing lvl 59 blue items from places like well of dragons and most importantly, EPIC lostmauth/shores...
most epic instances never droped lvl 59 items, it is a really interesting thing that they started droping after you tweaked (to the players loss) the loot to drop a lot less blues because of the new artifact equipment system. and now not only the blue items drop A LOT less than used to but there are also absolutely worthless lvl 59 items droping.
please, we get you want money, but thats just insulting.
Oh, apparently for some people it *IS* a biggie.
Seriously, that's a bit of an overreaction to such a tiny anomaly.
Its a annoyance, but to me personally , the bigger annoyance the is the small amount of rp they are worth even at 60.. blues should be like 1000 rp and purples like 2500-5000 based on their ad value.
Now that would be a reason to worry about them.
or,... they could do one of the million and half things players have suggested instead.
RP is way to gated now, making everything bound has made a stack of lessers resonance at like 350k atm.
Please.. for the love of something give something back to the playerbase.

350k isn't TOO bad tbh. It's less than 1.5 ad/rp. If it didn't go higher than that, I wouldn't be too worried even if farming for it is a pain with high caps to legendary. They were clearly worth much much less than they should have been due to bots. However I see no reason for them not to go up higher.
Also yes, level 59s are an annoyance and I feel trolled by getting them.
dont forget the one rank 4 that we still get in mini dungeon's
we are in mod 5 and we still get the same rank 4 and a scroll ,sometimes a potion for doing the mini dungeon
atleast make it as we go higher in mod we get more rank 4's or one rank 5

i still get level 59 stuff in those lairs, so its not a bug.
Its very annoying, maybe one day they'll fix it but I don't count on it as there is still other bugs that have lasted longer then a mod. One being where you lose gaunt and you have to run to the door and press F to join instead of just clicking join FC / DKC after the pvp.

Sounds like these dragons should've taken some ranks in Appraisal.
Ah, no wonder I could not use some of those blue items on my artifact gear! Mine have ALL been blue necklaces only. I didn't check the item level and thought it was because it was some special type of necklace - LOL!

I view it as a bug since one of the devs specifically mentioned that level 60 areas would no longer drop less than level 60 gear. That was back when the refinement system was introdcued. I've followed up about it recently although not with proper bug report. We'll see what happens, I don't really care much. It's a minor annoyance that disappears for me once my artifact gear is at a level where I see feeding gear as something that is too much hassle for too little RP.

They have different icons, level 59 will be white while 60 will be more bronzey.

All of the blue stuff I picked up in the WoD have been frined into my belt
You still pick up and identify blues of any sort? They are not with the time even for refining. Also the item shows the level on mouse over. You can sort them in 10-15 seconds. Probably took longer to log in to make the op.

Yeah I noticed the graphics difference, but have seen different necklace looks for purples (T1 and T2) so figured it was a different blue "tier." Oh well.
Level 59 gear should not be dropping in this area anyways. . . :P

The issue has nothing to do with worth of anything. lvl60- stuff simply shouldn't drop in a lvl60 area, simple as that. Alas, the devs like to troll us with lvl59 gear even in sharandar, and every other lvl60 only area, be it chests, HE rewards or simple mob drops. I don't know if it's a lame trick to make us waste ID scrolls or not, but it simply shouldn't happen.
If you only ID blue items you should never have a problem with scroll as i have like 200+ without ever buying any, so i guess i don't see an issue.

Depends on how you define worth it.
I tried counting the RP I got from greens from a day of extensive play. I got to over a 10k and then I couldn't be bothered counting anymore. Blues would be 30k+.
If you put a blue neck into a neck artifact it gives 600 RP. That's slightly more than 1 peridot.
Identifying all greens will take up all your scrolls, though. I only have enough scrolls for identifying blues.
If I had like 20mill AD I'd just buy all the RP needed for everything.
I'm not lacking ID scrolls either, and I do ID green weapons as well (not much use keeping 400 ID scrolls in my bag), but again, that's not the issue. Lvl60 only areas simply shouldn't drop gear below that level. There's no reason for it because nobody in there is below lvl60. The game doesn't drop lvl60 gear in Blacklake either, does it?

I can understand areas that have a 7 level range to drop gear in that range but if an area requires you to be a certain level it should not drop items lower then that level. I would rather see level 60 whites then get level 59 blues, no mather what they're worth on AH/Store/RP.

But you're rewarded with it so often that it becomes incredibly annoying. You literally can't do anything with that.

Exactly - THIS is the point of contention.
