Changes to Enchanting - deconstruction bug

What is supposed to be the intended base deconstruction percentages for rune recovery? 25% each for recovery of 0,1,2, or 3 runes?

I waited to level enchanting when I heard they were patching it. I had 86 white runes in the bank, all splendid and monumental level. I leveled enchanting starting at lvl 22 with the following skill point distribution (top down): 3/4, 5/9, 1/3, 2/3, 2,3

I believe that last one is the issue, runestone extraction. At 2/3, it supposed to be increasing extraction of each type by 6%.

I started recording when after the first 12 deconstructs I had not received a single rune, though I was gaining experience for it. At the end I'm level 27, almost 28, but 54 times I did not receive any runestones. 54/86 = 63% of the time? I don't see how this is really possible. I have exactly 80 runes. in my inventory, which means that somewhere around 20+ times I recovered all 3 runes.

So this doesn't make sense to me. Ultimately I ended up with less runes than the guaranteed 1 per as it was before, although I advanced 5 levels where before I maybe would have advanced 2.

Can someone from ZOS explain if this is right or am I seeing a bug. I think it's a bug. That's way too many 0 drops.

    Did you put any skill points into the new Rune Extraction?

    Uh, no. The forums are the place to inquire about in game problems. If you can't read or post anything constructive to I the problem, why don't you try keeping your mouth shut.

    Rolling the dice... I got 4 runes out of 6 decons earlier with one point in extraction... so, data point of meh.

    It could be a lot worse and I got lucky, or you could have gotten screwed by bad luck.
