Honing Stones and the like

The higher up my smithing level gets I seem to get fewer and fewer Honing Stones and Dwemer Oil dropping. Am I the only one having this issue?

    Are you extracting from items or refining from ore? Also, did you put points into the extraction skills?

    Right now it's level 14 but when I was level 9 and below the honing stones were dropping like no other

    It is all random. Just this morning I was refining several hundred hides with my rank32 clothier (extraction 3/3). From the first 100 hide scraps I got only 1 green component. From the second 100 scraps - 1 green, 2 blue, 2 purple and 2 gold. From the third 100 scraps - 2 green and 1 blue. And so one. The total result was pleasing for me, but it was always possible to find a long period of lucky or not lucky refinements.

    Random is random.

    My current level in BS is 40 and I have every passive maxed (except keen eye, because lol)

    I get 2-3 purple temps every 100 refined ore (any)
    My current standing on tempers:
    102 green
    32 blue
    26~ purp
    2 golds

    All of this from 400-600 raw ore.
    And all thee above doesn't include my drops / hireling rewards / deconstruction / heavy bag drops.

    Basically what I'm saying is... RNG hates you. :'(
