Poll: Which option is best for non-dungeon PVE zone level scaling?

Zazaaji

I think I included all possible choices, so please pick one. Again, this is only for non-dungeon PVE zones. Dungeons and Cyrodil are not included in this poll.
Personally I chose to never scale, under any circumstances. Scaling up just makes level pointless in my opinion, and Guild Wars 2 proved that scaling down to any zone level takes away a lot of the fun.

I don't really understand how the scaling would work. If it kept quests from turning white/grey, I'd be in favor of it.

I'd ask what fun is there going to my home faction as a V14 and killing everything literally in one hit.

There's no reason for me to ever go back, which is a shame because I actually like those zones.

Other option I forgot. (Explain)

I think that when you finish Cadwell's Silver and Gold, ALL zones should be scaled to Cadwell's Gold level. This would be a simple solution for the devs to implement, but would offer the VR10+ players 3 TIMES as much repeatable content as we have now.

Only scale your level down if you are over leveled for a non-dungeon PVE zone, regardless of groups.

I would love to be scaled down so that quests stay a challenge. Up leveling however I hate, especially in pvp. It ruins all the fun if I as a level 10 get the stats of a level 50.

The entire game should be scaled. Everything. It works flawlessly in guild wars 2. Quests, dungeons and PvP. Then players could select levels of difficulty for PvE. And PvP would be fair and balanced. No more players with absurd amounts of game-time or gold invested having an advantage. From a non-technical point of view the reason it works for guild wars so well is that a player can return to the game a year later and still be on-par with everyone else.

Returning to a game and having a disadvantage that can take hundreds of hours to make-up results in the players not returning at all. Guild wars 2 has even managed to implement this scaling without removing the perpetual carrot.

Do not ever scale in a non-dungeon PVE zone, no matter what the circumstance is.

Why did you pick "Other" and not "Only scale your level down if you are over leveled for a non-dungeon PVE zone, regardless of groups" then? That option is identical to Guild Ward 2 in regards to PVE, which is only what this poll covers.
