Default Anyone else having farming drop issues lately?

I'm away for 4 days and return to do a little farming. I like to do 15-20 minutes of minotaur runs at elona a few times a day, so as to not incure the anti farming code. Well I start up this morning and the first 4 runs net me a total of 6 drops each run, where I ususally get like 10+ when I first start. I take a little brake and come back a couple hours later and start getting drops of 3-6.

So has something changed recently that would cause farming to get so bad? As recently as Friday I was happily getting plenty of loot in short sessions, now I'm almost getting nothing at all....

I guess the only other consideration then would be if too many other players are also farming that location at the same time?

Don't know, but I doubt it, I'm usually farming when there area lot of monks there, which I assume are 55 monks. Plus I just did my first Troll run at droks and only got about 40% drops. What gives? I've read that over farming is location related, but it seems not....any help?

are you logging in-farming-logging out always? I don't think logging resets the code, you still have to work it off doing other things.

Hmmm. I've not been loggin off to 'reset' the code, but you figure it takes 'running' time to reset the code?

But the real issue is that I wasn't under any real penalty, that I know of when I left last week. But I'll leave the game up for a while and see if it fixes it....hmmmm

Absolutely correct. I went hit a dry patch in the UW at the weekend. No ectos and totally rubbish drops for six runs in a row, so I spent a day doing a few missions and other non farming stuff.

First UW run last night and I got four ectos :-))

Can't we have a stick that says drops haven't been nerfed?
