Guild Wars 2

First, sorry if there is another post about this. I can’t seem to search the forum for some reason. I have noticed since a fairly recent patch that salvaging rares with the black lion salvage kit seems to not produce as many globs of ectoplasm as it used to. It seems like since the clockwork chaos patch(or around there) I am lucky to get at least 1 from a lvl 80 rare now. On a rare occasion I will see a 2 or a 3 from them. An example would be I just salvaged 100 lvl 80 rare armors and I only got 72 globs. I used to get a little over the number of armors I would salvage and almost every one would salvage at least 1 glob with others giving 2-3 much more often than it is now. It seems to be acting like a master salvage kit and I have to wonder if something got messed up in the code.

I know there are extensive tests done to find the rate of salvage kits and such but I don’t know if any have been done since the recent patch for the black lion kit. I really would like to know if someone has done this or if Anet could check and see if the kit is messed up somehow. Anyone else who uses the black lion kits notice this as well? I have gone through over 10 kits since that patch now and its been the same the whole time. Since rares are our only viable source for globs now, its rather important to check this. Thanks

I honestly dont think its just the BL kit. I think they reintroduced the ecto bug. I feel like the ecto salvage returns has been insanely low over the last couple of patches, nowhere near the close-to-1:1 you usually get in the end. More like getting 1 ecto from salvaging 6 rares.

But maybe its just me.
