Quest scaling difficulty

My quests are level 30 when my average army level is 25-26. Extremely annoying and discouraging to play the game when the only repeatable content becomes impossible. I only do blue or purple quests and it has still scaled to this extreme. Why would quests ever scale and even if you really wanted to make them scale why is there no cap? I shouldnt be punished for playing the game. Absolutely ridiculous. Nobody wants to sit here and lose on purpose to reduce the level especially when one loss doesnt even guarantee a level drop. Why have an awful work around to an awful system? Just drop the system if losing is going to descale it anyway. Absolutely pointless and a waste of time.
