So! When you need money, you farm, right? Whenever I was short on money, I would farm for Sign of Fusion - Eldan, and/or Eldan Runic Modules. They didn't drop every two seconds, but they dropped at a rate that I could get a good amount in a couple hours of farming, and make 3-5p, which would enable me to rune my gear and buy whatever I needed. Last Wednesday my harddrive went out, so I've been gone for a week (got back on Wednesday), and it seems they secretly nerfed the drop rates on both items.
 
After around five total hours of farming in the Defile (around Pussbelly's spawn), I got 0 signs of fusion, where I would normally get 8-10, maybe up to 15ish if I was lucky. As for the modules, I've done 7 runs of normal STL, and I've gotten a grand total of zero modules, when I normally would get at least 6-10.
 
Is Carbine secretly nerfing the drop rates of items that provide income in an attempt to push people into buying CREDD, or is my tinfoil hat on too tight? :P
 
Carbine, is it possible you goofed something up? A couple of my guildies farm for fusion signs as well, and they haven't gotten a single one since last weekend, they said.

			I'm going to go with Tin Foil all the way! Haha. Random is random. It is possible, and unfortunate, for you to get little to nothing from your farming endeavors. This does not mean that there was some secret nerf. People have done dozens of STL runs and gotten no modules. I still contend that PvP is the best means of acquiring modules though! I don't think you should use a five hour block of time to be indicative of drop rates overall. It's a really small sample of data :o

			I'm gonna go with you're hitting a bad streak. Just the other day I got 3 purple drops and 4 eldan signs in one run of CB. Normally I MIGHT get one, maybe even 2, but not every day.
