12 surveys across 18 characters (108 writs that can give them total) for a 11.1% drop rate, close to the historical observed drop rate of 12.5%. (got 4 on the last character... lol)
I'm glad they fixed it because I swore off surveys for a few months post Jubilee and the higher survey rate last week compelled me to waste time on that nonsense even though I am so over collecting surveys.
Now I can go back to finishing the prelude quest and maybe even actually go into Elsweyr. Well, I did actually go into Elswyr 3 times when I created my 3 necros, but that doesn't count.
Received 3 surveys today from 2/8 crafters, it's nice to see these back again. Took a huge hit from this issue over the last 8 days, especially in the jewelry crafting department. It completely shuts you down unless you quit your job in order to farm mats.
I get nothing but surveys... Sometimes two in one crate.

Before the patch I got two identical surveys from one daily writ. It was a bit confusing after I'd cleared it out once and moved away but the red cross stayed on the map, so I had to go back and look and oh! there's more!

Before I wound up not having connection at all (that would have been Thursday afternoon last week), I got double crafting writs on both my account mains, and a couple of others on each account. I just got connection back this evening, so I'll be crafting again tomorrow. Hope I get bunches....
Please close this thread. Post update, I received 5 surveys out of 6 (*7) crafters. This is 11.9% drop rate. Thank you for your quick attention to this thread. I've always been more satisfied than less with the game and this is another positive moment of truth. It is nice to see this work the way it is supposed to from this side of the glass. I spent a very long time as a game builder and forum administrator in a MUD and the experience was mostly positive. Thanks for responding fairly and quickly.
