I thought the Kuta hireling problem was supposed to be fixed in the last patch two weeks ago

I have multiple enchanting hirelings and have not gotten a Kuta in at least 3-4 months on any of them. I saw where ZOS confirmed that this was a bug, and the patch notes from two weeks ago said it was fixed. Well, I still have not gotten even one Kuta in the past two weeks. I have one fully maxed enchanter with 3/3 hireling, and 3 more alts who have 2/3 in hirelings. It seems I should have gotten at least one Kuta in the last two weeks if this is fixed.

    Got a Kuta last night on my VR14 (Enchanting 44/50, Hireling 3/3).

    That's actually not an issue for me. I get one or two per week on my only hireling. I hear about a lot of people not receiving any though, so I'm not doubting its authenticity to some players.

    I've been getting a kuta almost every day. I think the RNG just hates you.

    I had been receiving Kuta somewhat regularly; but I also have gone several weeks without receiving any. For every ten emailsI receive, two will have only a potency stone, three will have potency and essence stones only with the other five containing all three types of stones but nary a Kuta among them.

    The OP is suffering from something called "Coup d'etat: the hope of getting a Kuta, but only getting a Ta." (say it out loud, you'll get the joke)

    I don't doubt the authenticity of the reports from the people saying they're not getting them. Nor do I doubt the reports of the people saying they are.

    What I doubt is the random nature of this reward schedule system.

    I've recieved maybe 3 Kutas in all the existance of my 3/3 hireling, lol. Which was my first hireling, so for maybe...5 months or something. Last one was maybe a month ago I think, so dunno. Possible feeble RNG gods just hates me(and you, too), but I don't have any problems getting Dreugh Wax, Rosin or Tempering Alloys.

    ZOS did confirm they had found a bug with this and reported it fixed on September 29th in the patch notes.

    General
    Fixed an issue where Enchanter Hireling mails were not providing the correct items.

    However, in the time since the patch notes, I still have not received any Kutas. I'm not even asking that they somehow give those of us who have had this bug for months anything to recompense us. I'm just asking for this bug to stop.
    I have hirelings for all the other professions, and I have no problem getting legendary items on those, just NO Kutas.

    Have any of the players with this issue tried to respec? I know this could be a PITA to do but maybe a solution...

    yeah Kuta seems more rare, could just be bad luck, but I dunno...seemed like for a while I was getting 1 every other day, now it's been a week since I got one.

    If I'm not wrong, the previous patch notes was regarding some players receiving raw mats from other crafting professions in the Enchanting Hireling mails.

    Now, you'll still require points in Rune Extraction (AKA Aspect Extraction pre-Update 4) in order to get Kutas.

    I contributed to the last thread on this topic because I had not received a Kuta since 1.4 with multiple 3/3 hirelings. Within the next week I received one.

    My biggest worry is that they are secretly capping the number of rare mats a single account can receive, and in a mathematically unsound way. When players report of almost daily kuta with one 3/3 hireling and you have 6+ 3/3 hirelings and receive less than 1 kuta per week, you would like to know the ultimate truth of the matter. Are the reports gross exaggerations or is something else going on.

    RnG over the long haul should result in a similar number of wins, except for few outliers. I suppose all folks complaining could be outliers. However, with multiple 3/3 hirelings, being an outlier should be rarer than winning the lottery.

    I have received less than ~54 kuta since launch and I believe I am working on 7/8 for 3/3. Have had 8 2/3 hirelings for a long time.

    This is what was said in an earlier thread.
    Hi everyone. We were able to take a look at this, and it does appear that there was an issue that was preventing some of you from receiving kuta from your hireling. We're working on a fix now, and hope to roll it out very soon. Thanks for bringing this to our attention (from all threads and avenues)!

    And from that, and the last patch notes, I assumed that the enchanter hireling fix was for this problem.

    I have recently upgraded all my characters to level 32 enchanting and 3/3 hirelings. Over the past weeks, I have been getting significantly less Kutas than expected, around 1 every 6 12-hour periods, with 8 different hirelings adding up.
    Kutas are still being delivered but with much lower chances than before.
    Wololo.

    Been getting them the whole time. People are not getting them and then thinking they are 3.5k+ because they are "rare now" when they are not rare they just get bad luck...

    Super annoying how many potato kids are in chat selling things for way to much...

    I have received a total of 5 Kutas as of this morning since last Friday. Prior to that, I was getting one or two a week. I have gotten 12 Kuta's in total since I activated my L3 Hireling a few days after the Enchanting Patch. I have also received more than 16 Rekuta's and about the same amount, maybe a little less, of the Blue and Green.

    The L3 Hireling works.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    @Nestor, I have the Level 3 hireling on my main, and have had that level for months now. I still have no Kuta's from any of my hirelings.

    Weird, I never had an Enchanting Hireling until recently. I started getting Kuta's as soon as I went L3 (I got two for the brief period of time I had the hireling at L2). My first mail after the hireling was a Kuta, then the next a Rekuta (or maybe the other way around). On average, until this weekend, it was about 1/2 a week, then this weekend, at least one a day. I think Saturday I got two, one in the morning and one in the evening.

    I only have one hireling.
