booo. Why not? Besides it not being 'Fallout'.

In fact, encounters do have a kind of level scaling already: The more players, the more mobs.
The problem I see with real levelscaling is low level players going into an encounter and other players joining in then. Or using distress call to bring their big lvl21 friends who then pwn the shit.

Bleargh, good points. But I wouldn't say they're drastic enough to completely ruin level scaled encounters. I mean, the same could be said of PvE dungeons or any other feature that will include dangerous creatures. You could always start a high level NPC faction quest/go to a high level PvE area, then bring along your low level buddies for a ride. Unless you introduced level limits on those too. Which I would be fine with, actually.
Edit: How about distress calls are only available when there's no NPCs left alive/the encounter only contains human players?

Then the feature loose most of his original point. It's called "distress call" because you are supposed to use it when you need help...
But well, level scaling is already existing in area division way: At anklav, or SF, harsh encounter, near klamath, easy encounters...

How often do you think that's what it's actually used for? Whenever people I know use it it's just to rendezvous after a group breaks up. I doubt it's often used mid PvE fight.
