Guild Wars 2

I was keeping records to track the profitability of crafting and salvaging and eventually going to add a second test group of all loot items. Using a mystic forge kit and crafting level 80 rares I was getting
Salvage/Ecto
10 10
10 12
11 7
10 7
10 8
10 9
10 13
10 13
10 18
10 8
10 6
10 12
10 9
10 10

Then a few days later I started salvaging again.
10 5
10 5
10 4
And stopped. After the second 5 I became concerned. then the drop of 4 ectos per 10 rare level 80 crafted items made me halt my operations.

Today my first run with the more expensive crafting materials (3x what I was spending)
10 3

This destroyed most of the profits I made trying to craft for ectos. Even with the increased prices of ectos there is no way I can continue with this. I know its not a statistically signification amount but is there a difference in crafted v. looted items in regards to ecto salvage? Did something change in the last few days since I noticed the price of ectos and higher end crating materials spiked in price?

I jumped in to help a friend with this quest and we got this same bug. We searched the whole area for a hidden creature and nothing. She has had a ton of problem soloing this.

Better yet make it the reset every 8 days. That way it is always changing what day it resets on.
