How is the drop rate of orbs related to difficulty level?

is there any official word on that matter (for either case)? I can see a lot of people having similar experience, but that's it.

I've had a blessed or divine drop (can't remember which) for a new character on the way to Hillock. The one and only exalted I got was somewhere in Act 1 Normal as well.
A monkey in act 2 normel gave me my first exalted
So basically a character lvl 80 will be a lot less succesful farming lvl 66-69 maps than a character lvl 70? The more we lvl, the less currency loot we get. Nice logic.

I've been doing like 5 maps a day for the past 3 months : not a single exalt drops.

Someone in my friend list made a new toon last night : after 2 hours he had found 2 exalts.

Are the devs aware that lvl 1-20 chars have better farming potential than lvl 80+ chars?

Seeing newbies get more wealth while lvling than I do farming with lvl 80+ toon is very disapointing.

I hope this get changed in the future cause my motivation to farm in this game just took a big hit.

Quoted: For the purposes of this penalty, your level is never considered to be higher than 68. Therefore a level 75 character receives no penalty in a level 66 area.
Ah ok thats good to know, thanks.

This is not the case. If I remember correctly there is no penalty in 66+ zones at this time.
Does that mean that an Lvl 80 Wont have penalty in low level zones too ? like lvl 64 or even less.
I cannot understand this stuff (for now i saw 1x exalted droppping in my own cr8ed map ofc i have been at that time 3 - 4 lower lvls then now) but still much higher then the map!


Point is: the whole currencys are lets say "definitly overpriced" newcommers to the game will have quite hughe problems to get currency AT HIGH LVL and an exalted orb will dropp i would say 1 times within 30 - 40 maps.
while lvling i never saw any Exa / divine dropping and now while farming maps and lunaris i often meet gcps and similar (but gcp is like the best)

Still counts: if you want an chest (like me or even gear wich costs 3,5 Pure - 5 PURE exalteds)you need more then an month of farming definitly.
Im Playing alot /day (at least 10 hours + afk ofc), and when i meet peoples who talks about 25 - 30 exa im just thinking "how"?

What else interests me: is it right that the dropp rate Of orbs is also affected by rarity ?
One friend of mine got more then 250% rarity, but he told me few times (not only 1x) that it looked like while he has been lvling on 20 or 30% Rarity the dropps where higher then now how that comes? Does that mean while lvling 30 or 40 % of Rarity counts more then 250% on lvl 80 ???????????????????????
Answers please i want to hear your meaning about this.
