Yes, I recall from what I've read that you are correct that the likelyhood is completely constant based on difficulty, with the fact that many items requite a minimum map difficulty levels. I agree with that both reducing the number of items at high levels, but also increasing the chance of more valuble appearing to a point that getting a ring of ruling or something like that at the *highest* floor of a TC is equal to of better than currently despite the reduced number of items.
