Below are 2 screen shots, the first taken on 6-3, the second on 7-12. Of the 126 search results recorded between those 2 dates here's what they show:
First, lets break it down into it's components:
Intrepid searches:
7 YWC out of 71, 9.85%
5 SE out of 71, 7.04%
Tav searches:
5 YWC out of 43, 11.62%
5 SE out of 43, 11.62%
Lucky searches:
0 YWC out of 12, 0%
1 SE out of 12, 8.33%
In total we have:
12 out of 126 were Young Woodcutter, 9.52%
11 out of 126 were Secluded Experiments, 8.73%
An almost 1 to 1 ratio of YWC and SE being returned does not seem normal in any way. The ratios published on various fan sites certainly aren't close to what I'm getting. My results prior to the Intrepid release are far different than what's been happening since.
We've been assured by BB_Alex that drop rates haven't changed and I believe he's sincere in this assertion; however, something connected to the release of the Intrepid has created a problem with the return rate of Secluded Experiments. It's so painfully obvious, I don't know what more I can do to point it out.
