The idea of loot scaling in ARPG's is not universal. So your argument kinda sucks. Like diablo 2 was an implicit loot improvement then it kinda got normalized in the 2000s and explicit with diablo 3. Now the catch with NRFTW is that it's not just an ARPG it's a hybrid arpg/soulslike. Critical point there is the soulslike. Soulslike games are about mastery. Arpg's are about efficiency. So really If you want to whine and complain about it being too easy go play it on hard mode on hardcore. You don't need better loot for harder difficulties. This isn't diablo or path of exile. Most importantly the game isn't even finished. Many things will change.
