Do lower level bosses not loot anything for high levels?

Sharakor

So I've had this happen since I was level 20 or so, I'm 46 now. Many times I would kill world bosses, public dungeon bosses and such and get 0 loot, the body wouldn't even have the option to loot it. I tried killing them a couple of times to make sure I just didn't get loot that one time but that wasn't the case. I did notice that I've usually always been considerably higher level than the boss or the zone (5-10 lvls max). Is this some sort of bug or is it part of the game?

No, it's part of the game.

All monsters stop dropping loot for character five levels above them I believe, this includes all public bosses.
Instanced dungeon bosses still drop items I think, although I can't fully remember.

Ah thanks for the info, this whole time I thought something was wrong.

Anything five levels below you does not reward Xp or loot, with the exception of leather scraps.

It's a shame, yeah, but working as intended out in the world and apparently in delves (or at least nothing ever dropped for me in there after a certain point). Not sure about the instanced ones.
