PVE encounters are already easy as fuck, and you wan't to make it easier?
Not easier,more organic.Then again they are pretty easy and this might make them too easy.
It's not about difficulty level.You can encounter a hunting party after a fight, of course they would be scratched up. But not all the time.
And maybe sometimes fresh off the fight and ready for more (ie less easy even [dare I say it?!] diffivult)......
It won't ruin game, just make it more easier, making the hole between crafting balancing and farming balancing even bigger.
