LEvel of Equipment in Crates fell in Scavenging Missions

I am a level 49 player with level 19 survivors.
Before the update, I got level 17 to 20 equipment when I played the scavenging mission.
Post update, I played the scavenging missions and am getting equipment as low as level 16 in the normal mode with 6 gas. With level 19 survivors, the equipment is worthless for me. I have to play the missions at hard level in order to get higher level equipment. I have even installed the optional update, but the problem still exists.
Perhaps @Teeceezy and @Shteevie you should look into it.

And yes.. Legendary gear from golden crates mostly are below your lvl ;(

Furthermore, the crates at the end of the missions give rewards that are exactly the same for normal and hard (f. ex. I get roughly 4,700 xp in a bronze crate and gear is mostly level 18-19).
You mentioned earlier an upcoming fix for scavenge mission for maxed players -- is that still the plan? (If so, details, please!). Or was the gas price reduction to 6 from 7 that fix?
Check out the DMZ guild. We're recruiting. Here.
But anyway...the crates are too low in hard missions. Get rid of the 1 & 2** crap...please!
On some maps hospital is very usual and the loot isn´t worth it.
Rare stuff in gold crates insn´t funny too...
Plus I still receive the same unusuable weapons and armor constantly on food and xp missions. Thought this issue had a makeover?
It would be really nice if these levels had the Recommended Survivor Level on the display, because isn't that what determines the level of gear drops @Shteevie ?? That's they way it used to be, so that would be a change worth noting and not something we should have to figure out ourselves, like the change to logic that determines the gear level in Trade Good Crates.

Something changed a few months back when lvl 20 drops were pulled from the game, when that happend without aword another unacknowledged change came in where the drop rate of epics and Legendary's seems to be lets say not quite right.
Siince that day a few month back you can easily see a pattern where any common or uncommon drops are usually your max level maybe the odd one below but as soon as you hit an epic or legendary its 1-2 levels below making it usless.
Rec. survivor level is not shown when it is at or below your max survivor level.
And the maxed players will see better rewards for hard scavenges. That is already live.

Once in a while I will get epic or legendary gear but it's too low a level
I can't even remember the last time I got a piece of gear that I could actually use
I stash the free gear and cash it in for 2 x XP with a booster when I get a bunch of it saved up.
Most of my gear now comes from 12.5k trade store purchases or gear offers for $$$
This is exactly what NG wants me to do and so I do it
Wooooohooooooo, just scored this!
Can't wait to outfit my level 17 legendary Warrior with this!

What´s about the nearly maxed out players?
Camp level 54 and level 19 survivors?
Someone posted this several days ago, but it feels like the drop rate for epic gear has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased. Many drops where I previously got epic gear all seems to be useless rare gear.

Mine was not a scavenge mission. I got that awesome level 4 weapon after a challenge mission
also, I am not a maxed player. Camp level 49, srvrs are all level 17
Not sure it makes a difference?
Shteevie is explicitly talking about max level players.
And LOL at the challenge mission. I get epic and legendary gear at level 2 or 4 and such every single challenge. Hilarious if frustrating.

If NG can base XP levels on srvr level then gear levels in crates could be changed also

So pre 2.2 I was getting 9700 mission reward, and normal crates where giving me about 4100
Then I leveled up, and I was getting 10000 mission reward and crates with giving me 5000+
Now in 2.2, normal has dropped back down to 9700 & 4100 in crates
And hard is the larger value.
So in effect they haven't given us a chance to get better things, they have actually made it harder for us to get the same things.
It's an easy fix, all is need to be done is to tie level of gear/xp/toms with player level like in scavenge missions. No more and no less. It was me, it was me!
Thanks for reminding, this should be also fixed ASAP.
Haven't even had an epic piece of level appropriate gear in my crates for weeks, if not months.
It's so sad to get that gorgeous gold weapon with fantastic traits and it's level 4...
