CCP, are you really, really sure you didn't break the loot tables?

Look at how long ago the prices crashed then come back, look at what you typed and hit edit

Cause increased looting by people who suddenly realize how valuable some items are, and can easily find out if the wreck they opened has one of those valuable items, is a temporary phenomena?

Yeah, _I_ should hit edit.

There's also the fact that many people stopped running incursions, and went back to mission-running. So even if the loot tables hadn't changed, supply of named items would have risen.


Yes this is probably the most accurate answer. However I'll maintain the fact I loot a lot more meta 4 now then I've ever done before. Missions like Worlds Collide 2 years ago I could get for 3500/5000M3 of loot with 1 or 2 interesting meta 4 Items, now it's more about 750M3 (with a little chance) but about 3 to 5 valuable items. Cap booster drops = 0 (player made yep I know)
Loot/reprocess revenue (in my case) obviously dropped significantly since then but LP's revenue increased a little bit but doesn't compensate loss in reprocess/stuff build ->sold.

Actually as prices go down it's not even worthy to look at all those wrecks except named mobs and BS, you make make a little +running another immediately and leave wrecks behind.
Examples? -the Maze, why kill all the mobs that loot absolutely nothing or peanuts, why waste time with that crap when all you have to do is kill named and move on, 30min completion 500mill to +3B and > in items.
All DED sites, exactly same interest about, why spend time killing red crosses by dozens when all you have to do is kill a single one and move to another site kill/loot and repeat.

Also: Can't remember where I read that stuff about more meta 4 loot, think was in some CCP Soundwave/Mr Lander interview or dev blog, the idea behind this being to compensate the meta 0 and 1 (player made) loot loss.

I'm more interested in finding out why I've had to drop prices on my corelum and shadow serp mods, tracking comps gone from 250mil to 180mil in just a week or two :/

There should be a rather awesome pic here

High end tracking comps are falling because of the blap nerf.


Meta 4 crash was so rapid and widespread a change in loot tables is the only explanation.

No doubt this was a contributing factor, along with (as previously mentioned) the drone alloy change, incursions, Infigeddon etc etc.

Meta 4 drops did on increase. Meta 4 salvaging (collection) just happens more because mission runners are no longer filling cargo holds up with cheap t1.
