Did they change crafting writs?

As the title states did they change crafting writs? Specifically the rewards for them? I got on last night after the update (PS4 player) and grabbed my daily crafting writs and I made significantly less gold from them, not to mention I got less rewards in my "chest" received and those rewards were all of lesser value. Typically I was getting 700+ gold from each writ and I usually got at least 1 epic or higher rarity item after doing them all. Last night it was all white mats and gear with ~200 gold.

Anyone else experience anything similar?

I didn't see anything in the 60 page 19,000+ word patch notes, but I easily could have missed it.

    Writ rewards are random. You won't get valuable items every time. The only thing that changed is that you can now receive Glass motif fragments from equipment writs.

    Tier 9 writs pay out 600 gold before bonuses (e.g. ESO Plus 10% more gold). Lower tier writs are less profitable. Did you put back all your points into crafting? You got an automatic free respec after the update.

    Yeah all my points were put back into crafting. It could have been 600 something before (I do have ESO+) but it was definitely not the same amount of gold last night crafting the same writs quality writs as before. i know the rewards are random, but typically after I complete all the writs I usually get at least 1 thing worth my mats. Last night is the first time that wasn't the case. Could have been coincidence. But, if I get *** for gold, and *** for drops I'll just stop wasting my time and mats for writs and my life will be better for it. Less crafting writs= more time do fun stuff.

    LOLz. Other than the chance at glass fragments, and the once every 20 days gold/purple upgrade items, welcome to how most of us have felt for since two weeks after writs came out. But I still do mine, so I can get those same frags and mats.
    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.
