You know, since the upper limit of character level was never stated in SAO, we could simply ignore the Boss dungeon on that map and assume that it's a limited region map. If that's the case then the bears and foxes would only be in special hostile zones and the wolves would all be level three. The loot could remain as stated but people would have to be a lot more restrained about getting stronger and obtaining upgrades, like not getting anything better at all until after the first boss gets cleared... which took months according to canon.
