What Fredy said, but 1. is usually because they're Core/Key/Savage Necrosis Elite hunting. Accordingly, the way it's SUPPOSED to work, is that low-level NM Matches don't usually yield Elite Savage Devastators or Necrosii; those two bosses give you the best chance of getting Cores and Keys from the Nantoniums they drop. For high Level players, a mis-matched NM match that sticks them with all 70s or below essentially winds up being a waste of time and resources, since we wind up carrying the whole team and not getting anything we want from it.

HOWEVER, I've found that Savage Elite Devastators and Necrosii can also appear in low-Level NM Matches, and with enough frequency that I don't see any point in wasting time grinding to find a high-Level match.

I personally think NK is intentionally leaving the match-making "broken" for reasons of greed, but that' just my opinion from experience.
