Did they change enchanting survey drops?

After the mini update to do with the surveys and exploits I've had a couple of enchanting surveys in craglorn and I noticed the loot was less. Normally there was about 4 aspects (orange), 2 potency and 2 essence. But I've noticed there's only about 2 aspects runes now...
Is this intended? Makes that slim chance of getting the double Kutas that much harder.

    This is on Xbox one.
    It happened in both the surveys I recently had, before it was always a minimum of about 4/5 aspects.

    Interesting, I was toying with taking a skill point out of enchanting to go back to craglorn for that very reason. Be intrigued to hear if they have dropped the aspect nodes..

    I noticed this, too. Usually I get 6 nodes in a normal survey and 7 in Craglorn. Just finished an enchanting survey in Craglorn after today's patch and it's definately 6 nodes.

    I also noticed ALL surveys reduced across the board and are not included in the crates as much. I used to get a survey about 20% if the time. Now it's zero (for me I don't know about others).

    I've decided to slow down my writ production until they fix whatever problem they have. Writs aren't really sustainable for me without the surveys.

    Maybe instead of increasing the Wrothgar Survey Locations to have 4 Aspects, they reduced Craglorn to have only 2 Aspects.

    So the question now becomes, did Wrothgar now get 4 Aspect Nodes in their surveys?
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    @medusasfolly so I wonder if it's intended?
    @ZOS_GinaBruno Have the enchanting surveys been changed in Craglorn on purpose? Or is it not intended?

    @Nestor can't comment on wrothgar enchanting as I only do Craglorn. Hopefully someone can.

    @scorpiodog Maybe it's just bad RNG for you in terms of getting surveys? I'm still getting a fair amount of surveys...

    For sure there are noticeably less nodes from the Enchanting craglorn surveys.

    Odd. I've *always* had two of each node type with enchanting surveys.

    All Enchanting Surveys had 2 of each type, Aspect, Potency and Essence. When Craglorn dropped, the top tier surveys were up there, and offered 4 Aspects to the 2 Potencies and 2 Essences. Wrothgar for some reason backtracked on this to 2/2/2 again.
