Fractals drops are not fixed at all...
Got a fractal skin on level 38 =X
After the update I was soo happy that they adjusted the drops…
since then i have 3x lvl 30, 3x lvl 40, 7x lvl 49 and all I get is 4 rings…
Oh wow, thirteen whole Fractal runs?
after the update, and 180 before… oh wow something else?
Haa, here comes someone who thinks 13 is a very large number!
A remnant of times past.

Any data regarding droprates prior this update means nothing.
Come back when you’ve acquired more numbers.
Shortbow and trident in my 38 run (I got nothing as expected).
The post patch data seems to show 41-50 (the paths with buggy drop rates) are finally superior to 31-40 now.
Whether these are “good enough” is still open to debate.
Content in this game will always seem
to be faceroll at the high levels, because it
needs to be accessible to the casuals and bads.

Well karma from 38 makes it much more worth it than 49. Rewards still arent good enough to justify doing a fractal that earns no karma.

Though that’s correct, OP’s complaint appears to be specifically aimed at the droprate of Fractal skins, and Ascended Weapon/Armor boxes.
I am keeping an eye on the data from LoD…
Seems almost nothing changed, lower levels are still better for time/reward.
Also….
RNG or not the number of healer chests is really silly…. like 90%.
You never see raider instead and i saw many chests (also have 1.5 full HEALER set chests, 3 cleric weapons, 3 malicious armors boxes, 1 raider, 1 cavalier weapon).
Not to mention the usual same chests streak and identica fractal combination streak.
If anything i’d say rng is broken as Always but anet won t ever admit it.

A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.

People seemed to be getting showered in asc drops during the first days after update, right now it seems back to normal (someone gets healers gloves every 5 runs or so). Makes me wonder if there is a regenerating lootpool if you dont play for a while, see coe lodestones.
One way or another at this pace it would take me a year or more of multiple daily fractal runs to equip one single character with asc stats of my choice, not even talking about multiple weapon sets. Even if you draw a “good” drop, which happens somewhat reliably, its probably still useless due to stat lottery.
Obviously anet doesnt want everyone decked out in ascendeds anytime soon but why bother putting them into fractals at a tiny chance for the rights stats when you can just throw money at it. If anet replaced all ascended drops with say 50 dragonite ore that would probably get me more ascended items in the same timeframe.

Are you suggesting that as really lot players suspect since release of the game, drops are better after major updates?
.-.
That is even really easy to see in salvaging for ecto on big numbers, and mystic forging.
I would suggest some experiments on this but i m currently too poor.
P.S. play WWW and drown in dragonite.
