In one of my regular trips to Gurista nullsec for ratting i noticed:
Dread Guristas faction loot dropping rats have completely disappeared.
I spent the weekend belt hopping to see if i could find one, just ONE.

nada.

In previous trips, i would ahve found 3-5 in the time i spent looking for one.

what gives CCP>? obv not you.

Saw DG in a hub recently.

That it didn't drop anything is a different matter.

Boohoo, DG spawns no longer drop stuff!

Random is random?
Or did their "fix" to one exploit have unintended side-effects?
Normally my bet would be on the first one, but seeing the AI fix (among many other), I'm not quite sure.

"We want PvE activities to require active participation and mirror PvP more closely." Stacking penalty for NPC EWAR then? Lock range under 9km from over 100 in a BS is not fun. Nor is two NPC web drones making me crawl 10m/s. PvP SW-900 x5: 75m/s.

Obv you don't nullrat much.

edit: was your response a question, or an answer, or a clueless statement with a question mark at the end?

It was more of a response requesting more information from you to indicate otherwise.

In terms of my own personal experience I haven't noticed any change for the worse. If anything, I've had more luck of late for seeing faction spawns.

Random is random.

They did change the code as per the expansion notes in regards to downtime.

I have had no domination spawns since this patch while belt ratting or in anoms. It's most likely bad luck... but I'm open to the possibility they borked it with the patch.

Belt hopping after downtine is worthless now cause the spawns don't reset no more. Keep ratting and you will get one eventually.

is this why there were more frequent "special rat" spawns in the past?
