Less loot when outleveling a zone?

I'm not sure i see the point in this.
I completely understand that there has to be a penalty on Orbs dropping, because otherwise high level players could farm lower level content really easily

But from what i understand, this penalty also applies to normal loot.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but wouldn't this mean that lower level uniques, and good items will be too expensive for appropriately leveled people to buy because they're in low supply?

If higher levels could farm lower level uniques and good rares, they would become affordable for the people at that level, no?

Sorry if i misunderstand, or my reasoning is wrong, i dont want to offend anyone, apparently It's really easy to do so on here x.x;
The penalty is only for currency drops, not gear.

It is broken, I cannot take the free unicorn ;)
If you think I care what you think, you need more of a life than I do.
how can i find out what level a zone is online? is there a chart somewhere?
Hit tab in-game, or mouse over it on your quest map (only works if you've been there before).
Did you know level 91 is the halfway point to level 100? This means that a softcore character dying ONCE at level 85+ can lose many days of progress.

Or they could just go to the wiki.

It should be noted that (and it happened to me yesterday)...I am 52 farming in a 46 zone and item level is not bound to the monster level. I had a level 49 chest drop, which is cool making farming all more worth while.
