I've noticed that our low sec shared with a lot of the FW Anamolies for plexing don't get a lot of "normal" anamolies anymore. I have never found one in the last 6 months, and it seems like there might be an issue there as well? Meanwhile there are dozens and dozens in the adjacent hi sec systems.

The region is The Bleak Lands, care to look into this as well kind sir?

I have noticed this, going back maybe 2-3 weeks. I was going to make a post about it. I live in gallente FW area and have been living there running sites for quite a while. There has just recently been a major reduction in the number of sites I find. In the past week I think I've found literally one radar site and one or two wormholes. This is terrible compared to how it used to be.

This is either a bug due to FW sites causing exploration sites not to spawn...or..exploration sites have intentionally been nerfed in faction warfare areas to make them less desireable for non-fw players to live in.

I'm far past the point of this being any sort of RNG bad luck. This is either a bug or a stealth nerf.

Op was asking about anomalies - and in Faction Warfare systems the anomalies are replaced by FW 'plexes'. Simple as that.

Signatures still spawn as they used to IMO.

I believe the OP's quote was intended to refer to signatures, not anomalies. My reasons for believing this:

Combat anomalies have not spawned in faction warfare areas as long as I have been there, going on two years. The quote in the OP refers to a recent change.

Secondly, the number of signatures has seen a very significant decrease. Yes, they ARE there, but not nearly in the numbers they used to be.

I can not confirm this. Sure i would like more DED complexes, but they do still spawn in FW territory (get completed and respawn and so on).

My guess: Weekend. Also FW areas have become much more busy - and it's not only dudes in frigates orbiting their precious buttons/trying to 'pvp', there are also quite a few scanners everywhere that look for exploration sites.

I am referring to anomalies, as stated in the title. The plex mechanics appear to be interfering with normal anomaly spawning.

I can confirm that I haven't found many signatures compared to nearby highsec, but that may just be because I'm bad at scanning and highsec signatures are easier to scan down.
