Dark Anchors in Cyrodiil, Special Boss Loot

Germtrocity

In Cyrodiil, completing a dark anchor rewards you with various v14 random armor and weaponry. However, when you encounter a special boss and defeat this special boss, if you obtain a special piece of loot from that boss, it is dropped at level 50.

The monsters you kill at the dolmen are all v12, so I am wondering why the loot you receive is not scaled to v12 from these bosses? So far I have received a hood of the voidguide, Dylora's Staff, Armor of the First Titan, and a Battleaxe of Medrike.

I would very much want the v12 versions of these items, and am quite sad that I did not receive them. Is there any word as to if this is working as intended? Or can I have my items in v12 please?

Feature of cyrodiil bosses. Delve bosses have that same feature. Drops have been this way basically from start.

Monsters in Cyrodiil have recently been scaled up to veteran rank 12. You currently receive various veteran rank 14 generic blues and greens from the chest currently, but if you receive a unique boss drop item it is only level 50.

With the new scaling, I am wondering if this is how the developers intended the loot to work, as I think it is silly that you receive level 50 special items from killing veteran rank 12 monsters.

Why even bother dealing with the extra difficulty if you receive under-leveled loot?

The boss drops have been broken for a very very very long time. Long before the step up to v12 in cyrodiil. The only reason why this is a thing now is they are trying to get people to do more cyrodiil PvE by scaling up monsters above v10 and adding loot incentives that affect PvP (cold fire etc.).

This has been reported numerous times, but hasn't been high enough on the priority list to be fixed. Suggest mass report if you want it to be fixed.

Thank you both very much for your replies, I will continue to report this every time I receive a rare boss item (received 4 more items since my initial post).
