Alchemy waters... stealth nerf intentional?

TyroneShoelaces
Since the most recent update, the amount of waters you receive from bottles, cups and backpacks was reduced by a massive percentage.

Hoping this was an unintentional side effect from this patch note:

Crafting & Economy
General
Water obtained from bottles, backpacks, urns, and other world objects now scales appropriately to your level or passive rank, whichever is higher.

At max level character with max skill points in the alchemy passives, you used to receive anywhere from about 4 to 8 waters per bottle, now it's been reduced to 2 or 3.

Can this be fixed, or confirmed it was intentional, but left out of the patch notes for some reason?

    i certainly agree with you, because for me the way i get most of my potions is by making them. if they did nerf the amount of water or the scale of watter , then when im on my lower level characters then i normaly find watter and they stack. but now with this nerf i will have a noticable amount Gone. this is a bit disturbing and will cost me gold that i need.
    im not very happy with this change.

    A broken bottle sheds no tears...
    How does a person get a response to an issue like this?
    Perhaps if it was crafting materials instead of alchemy ingredients, more people would have noticed?
    C'mon zenimax, this is a huge reduction in alchemy waters across the entire server. Can I get a response please?

    How do I bring attention to this matter?
    It seems as though it's being swept under the rug. I got an email with a survey regarding customer service from you.... You didn't get a good response. :-(
  • TyroneShoelaces
    Why is there no response to this yet?

    You can farm them in coldharbour now so my guess is that's why

    They should nerf the drop rate of Alkahest instead, since they always drop in large numbers (I got 5k of those).
  • TyroneShoelaces
    In an 8 hour shift on a slow day at work, I could farm about 4000 bottles, including the champion point passive that sometimes doubles the drop rate... Now in that same time frame I only get 1000.
    That's a huge reduction in supply left out of any patch notes, with no response.

    It's been over a month, still no response?
    This is terrible customer relations.
