It's no accident that every time this topic comes up that there's no one that can say definitively that they have even close to a 50% double rate. It's always either "no I'm in the 30s or low 40s" or "well maybe over a larger sample size it evens out". It does not. I've had this perk since the day it came out and every day when I run my 5-10 surveys I typically hit 35-40% doubled nodes.

Agreed IF it was 50% ingame someone would get 50% or more. EVERYONE reports way less than 50%.

It has been 8 months now.. can we PLEASE get a response?

Hey, its been roughly six months since the issue with Plentiful Harvest not doubling resource nodes 50% of the time was first brought to your attention, so I thought I'd check in with some spot testing today.

With all the Champion Point resets, I rebuilt my Green Tree. I spent all 50 points for Plentiful Harvest and triple checked that I had it slotted. Its supposed to be a 50% chance to double the yield from normal resource nodes per stage.

I farmed Hollow City and Craglorn for normal nodes and observed:
Out of 500 nodes, I got 300 single nodes and 200 doubled.
This matches all my previous data showing that platers are not getting a 50% chance to gain double the resources from normal nodes.

Lest that seem like ridiculously round numbers (I was a little astonished myself when I added it up), here's the data for the groups of 100 nodes that I tracked them in:
Single/Doubled
57/43
52/48
66/34
58/42
67/33

Please note that while one of my hundred node groups was very close to 50/50, its the outlier. As with all statistics, our numbers get more accurate with larger sample sizes, so its outlier status is even more obvious when we compare it with the total results.

Also, please note that at no point did I ever get above 50% with a large number of nodes farmed. It should be clear from all that data that we've provided that ZOS has still not fixed the Plentiful Harvest passive to give us a true 50% chance at doubling the node.

It'd be nice to get an update.
It'd be nice to get this fixed.

As it is, I'm starting to feel like I've been cheated out of 10 or so Champion Points by ZOS because I'm definitely not getting the benefit I'm supposed to. If it can't be fixed (or if ZOS is happy with the 40ish% doubling chance), can we at least get the cost reduced to match the actual benefit this passive is providing?

Same thing here. Sitting at 34% after farming various nodes for the past few months.

It would be good to hear from ZOS about this, but I didn't see any option in Crafting stars to up that percentage chance.

It's become obvious they either have no idea how to or no intention to fix this. At first I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but after this much time where we cannot even get follow-up, obviously they just want this issue forgotten...
