Did ZOS stealth nerf simple chests?

Meticulous Disassembly looked like it was working when I refined some raw materials. But it was only 20,000 or so pieces in total and I wasn't keeping careful records, so my anecdata on this is not very strong.

We need an tool like the crown crate logger for other drops.
I tell you they don't dare to tilt the loot table on crates because the logger.
It changes, remember farming SPC and over 50 runs and no jewelry outside the named blue from quest.
But so many bows
Once Olorime dropped it normalized because magic.

Bit of a necro, but I finally got to spend some time chest farming to check that the Treasure Hunter star IS working the same as the passive did before CP 2.0.

Below are what you should be getting from each tier of chests. What I'm getting now matches what I got prior to CP 2.0. If you are not, making sure that you have Treasure Hunter slotted and confirmed.

Simple
A. Green generic item
B. Blue generic item
C. Green generic item, Green set piece
D. Blue generic item, Green set piece

Intermediate
Blue generic item, Blue set piece

Advanced
Blue generic item, Purple set piece

Master
Blue generic item, Blue set piece, Purple set piece

Got a Medusa precise inferno staff and precise lightning staff on the same run of Arx Corinium the other night both out of simple chests.

RNG is gonna RNG like that sometimes.

I wouldn't be surprised honestly. This MMO is notorious for artificially inflating 'content' by nerfing stuff and forcing players to jump back on the hamster wheel to regain what used to be normal. One example was when they nerfed purple jewelry drops from dolmens when they released jewelry crafting because they didn't want players to get purple upgrade mats from decon. Another example is when they refused to grandfather in the perfected Malestrom weapons which players had already grinded Vet Maelstrom for. Gold gains from chests are virtually the same with the new cp 2.0 passives so that probably got nerfed. It kinda feels like someone is saying: "hey, look at how much much we raised the cp cap! Look at how much you need to grind to regain basic stuff! Are you excited yet?"

Have you actually tested the Treasure Hunter star?

Because I'm finding that ZOS didn't nerf simple chests. I'm getting the same quality and types of gear I was before CP 2.0.

I understand some level of skepticism, because ZOS did mess up Plentiful Harvest. But I prefer to blame them for the things they did get wrong, not the things that they didn't.

So the CP were introduced, but every aspect related to them was nerfed? Do we now need to spend CP to get the bonuses we previously had for free?

Kinda looks like what you just said.

Yep.

Try stealing or pickpocketing if you haven't done it in a while. Unless you spend a lot of CP towards it, you will get caught WAY more than before.
