After I noticed that I wasn't really lucky with gear since the change, and after some people agreed with me in global chat, Zmiya told us that gear has become more rare. He couldn't explain this in details because he doesn't exactly know what has changed (is it the quantity of gear pieces dropped or it's just the legendary gear that is rarer to get). Anyway, this was never officially announced and Zmiya says that even staff don't know exactly what has changed, but that "it's just a small mistake" by the staff team who "forgot to mention it in the update". Anyways here's my feedback. No matter in what way gear is rarer, I don't think it's the right choice as we don't get the crafting materials anymore, which were the only constant profit from farming mobs. Now, you only depend on your luck. Before, you could farm enough materials for crafting (which are the only materials people actually bought, beside the quest ones which don't really exist for graduates) to get gold and save extras so you can craft a legendary gear item by the time you got one from recipes but now if it's rarer, you don't profit at all and it takes even longer to get a legendary piece. Also, it's unfair that chests don't match with the update at all because you still get the same amount of gold and recipes as before, while mob farming has been nerfed a lot.
