Looks like someone crashed the market on meta 4 mods, they've all halfed in price within a month starting at roughly the same time.

Is this done by players or has there been some change to the mods I haven't heard about?

My guess is CCP stealth changed the loot tables so that more meta 4 stuff is dropped after the removal of meta 0 items.
Or they screwed up the drop chances after removing meta 0, and didn't even notice... wouldn't be suprised. There is way more meta4 items on the market now than before the change.

By the way, this could also have another side effect: More minerals from refining. Would explain some of the oversupply with nox/zyd/mega.

their drop rates are basically what meta 3 where, so expect prices to be about 25% lower then what the old meta 3 prices where.
as far as im concerned I dont think CCP is gonna fix this for a little while.

(edit)
as a friend points out, more meta 4 items are seeded then player numbers could posibly use up in the same time frame.
