Anyone else noticing a major drop in ilvl of items?

Since patch.. yesterday farming manually, today with bot. Both act 1 champ packs. I seem to get more lower quality items across the board. Less ilvl62/63 items in general. Admittedly this is all me speculating based on what I'm looking at over the last two days, mentally compared to before. I have no absolute fact. Then again that's the point of the thread, to see if I'm the only one.

Was there any blue or official posts saying the %'s of higher quality items would be lowered in act1 inferno? If so I cannot seem to locate anything on this.

Its probably due to the fact yellows have an increased drop rate and since 61s and lowerlvl items have a higher chance of dropping youre just seeing them drop more instead of the higher ilvls. Unless youre talking only about champ packs when youre manually playing and keeping track then im not sure as I haven't actually played without a bot in ages. I can't really say if I've seen a difference because I usually only picked up 62+ but recently changed to 61+ on some pieces so i'll definitely be seeing an increase

That's an extremely valid point. Now that regular mobs, which are lower level by default, have a higher chance of dropping yellows. You will see a higher amount.

In the end that just means an inventory that's full faster and more salvaged mat gold. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Although lets hope mats do not take a dip like they did last time

1.0.4 increased drop chances of yellows once again?

Something about upping the % that normal mobs drop rares.

Also don't forgot NV got nerfed abit so your MF won't be as much with 5stack as before.
