Anyone else noticed that they are not getting as many raw materials
now since Drop 4?
 
I am noticing it with Kinetic Omni-Plasm and various plants for 
Technologist that we are getting less now off of each node than
prior to drop 4.  That isn't good it is making it a lot harder now
to collect the materials needed to make stuff.
 
I looked at the drop 4 patch notes and didn't see anything about
a decrease in harvesting in there but there is definitely a decrease
which has occurred in the amount of materials you get from a node.

Seems to be a combination of an intended change and a bug.
 
1)  The slowdown in production I believe was intended.
 
2)  The bug is the effect where you do not see anything produced on your plot for a day, no harvesting mail, and then hours later it shows up populated.  It's almost as if there's no growth while you are not logged in sporadically.
 
I don't know if the slowdown in production is a good or bad thing.  I'm beyond needing much and was just selling the excess on the CX for a little coin.  The price has gone up but I have less to sell so personally it's a bit of a wash.  If I was depending on the mat sales for cash flow or frequent crafting, I might be more alarmed.  Speculation time, I'd guess they decided they did not want the housing plot to be capable of wholly replacing in-world farming, and simply be a little helpful extra convenience.  It's a fair consideration in general and I'd wondered if they might tweak that down the road because for months I was rolling in materials.

Not talking about on your plot but out in the world when you are out
harvesting plants you seem to get LESS now from shooting the plants
then what you did before drop 4.
 
The number of items you get from shooting a plant now I find is lower
than what it was before drop 4 out in the world.

I am most definitely seeing a difference in the drop rate being lower
since drop 4 has come out. you seem to be getting LESS materials
when you are getting stuff from Kinetic Omni-Plasm Nodes and as well
as when you are shooting plants.

			Just buy the gathering flask imo I don't think the drop rates have gone down. As for the relics join <Tier 4 Relic Society> circle on Exiles Entity we use the 75/2t system and you can farm a shyt ton of relics in about 20 mins.
