Skyrim mob item scaling.

So I don't wanna start off bragging but I don't think there is a person alive that's clocked more hours in elder scrolls than I have.
So in all right's my opinion should matter.

I'll keep my explanation short.

I liked that Morrowinds items were set and certain areas you had to be a certain level to even think about entering.
That way it was challenging.

Oblivion had a complete different approach, the world leveled up with you which was brilliant and it worked amazingly.

Skyrim is completely broke in that sense... I am level 50 and the mobs are running around with the same gear as level 1.
I was level 5 and I got an ebony 1h axe, then only when I was level 35 did I see another ebony piece.
The bandits still have leather at level 50 and the bandit BOSS mobs have steel?
I thought by now the leader bandits would have full Daedric?

The world has no scaling so the only way to make it challenging is to put it on Master Difficulty which is silly. Dragons take 100 arrows to kill. Some mobs I sneak 1 shot and other I have to shoot 20+ times.
The only Daedric items I found was arrows at level 50!? You can cheat the game by making iron daggers and easily get smithing to level 100 and have dragon armor and Daedric weapons and it takes like an hour to do that.
Finding items made Oblivion fun for me. All I did was free roam and farm EPIC gear. In Skyrim this purpose is defeated in 1 hour of dagger making. I was about level 30 before I did the mission to kill your first dragon and learn the shouts. But I had almost all of the words.

This game introducing this whole dragon thing is amazing... But then the greatness get's nerfed by... Everything staying the same. I fail to see the point of that. Please some one explain that to me?

I got the perk in lock picking that gives 50% magic find and it's awesome. But it's more like 1%. The only great thing I got was a Dragon Armor Shield with 60% fire resist. Pfft I use light armor.

If you wanna fix this game, get Oblivions mob scaling. And gold? There is no point of gold in this game. I have 100k+ And what to do with it? Buy a house... I am so thrilled. Oblivion's venders had a chance for massive items, which were expensive. I even use to sell items to get gold. I haven't sold 1 item in Skyrim because there is no point to farm gold. Sure you can level stupid skills with money but that's about it.

And don't call me non-dedicated. I am playing this game on 30FPS with massive spikes on 2 GTX 590's. That's how much I love elder scrolls.

I don't wanna be hating but I simply love the Elder Scrolls series. And this thread in the right hands will make the game better <3.

Please guys and girls: give me your view on this, I would appreciate it. Especially if there are any Scroll veterans here.
