Guild Wars 2

I’ve been going to Frostgorge Sound for quite some time now to do my dailies. Since the 1/28 patch there’s a considerable reduction in resources across the map. Has anyone else found this?
I’ve also noticed a similar trend in Orr, although I haven’t spent enough time there to be 100% sure, but the 2 days post patch I went there, I hardly found any and not one Ori anywhere.

yes – anet increased drops a few patches back and then nerfed all and reverted to the old drop rates. apparently there was a belief that more abundant mats were impacting the economy…

Aww, that’s terrible! I thought they’ve increasing the drop, so if that’s what they did why revert? It don’t make sense.
But I was really talking about nodes/wood etc, I noticed lot less of those around the map too.

Farming resources from nodes is pretty slow now, i have noticed this as well, typical ori nodes on frostgore aren’t there anymore.
Its way faster to get mats from salvaging items, hopefully they dont nerf this as well.

A certain amount of nodes spawn randomly throughout different sectors of the map. If you confine yourself to a specific area, eventually you’ll see less nodes, while the area right around you happens to have more than usual.

I didn’t hear about any increased loot drop announcement. Source?

If there are fewer nodes now, it stands to reason that it was done to counterbalance the larger supply of gathered materials based on WvW bonuses being activated in Dec(?). When you get to gather extra times from nodes, it means more supply.

Of course that means unlucky servers this week are getting worse than they did before the WvW bonuses were activated. But who cares about the players, right?
