Angelox, there's a few things wrong with not only loot, but spawns too - and I think it's because that detail was not "finely tuned" to match Live all at once. Probably on a case-by-case basis. I have seen the loot drops being bad (items like Epic drops that should drop 100% of the time being "averaged" with 10 other items, so it only drops 10% of the time [Ixiblat]). Regarding spawns, there are groups of mobs that should all spawn together, yet I see again they are "balanced" so 5 mobs that should all pop together only pop on a 20% chance.
While it's mostly a great system that is fully playable and enjoyable, one could spend months tweaking all these values to match Live even more. Not sure most of us have that time. I keep "fixing" the Nexus, then stupidly sourcing over my fixes with new databases. Next time, I'll save and share the fixes first.
