Poor Psijic Ambrosia, Perfect Roe, and Experience Scroll sales linked to long loading screen issues?

I've completed two factions (w/starters) and Craig - so I've skinned a fair number of fish. One thing I've noticed is that the roe appearance seems to be more bursty than might be expected from a purely even distribution. A number of times I've had three roe in less than 100 fish, and also gone more than 600 fish with none. But overall, it seems to be about 1/100 fish. It's also worth noting that ZOS could change that without notice at any time.
I get perfect roe faster than I get blue colored fish.Then comes the fishing time - probably at least an hour on average to get each Perfect Roe.
I have 5 or 6 perfect roe in the bank.
Not counting the starter island rares, I have 2 blues caught.
Total time fishing is definitely less than 2 hours. I only started fishing two weeks ago.
Not sure if this matters, but I have Provisioning at 50 and food passives maxed.
I'm also pretty sure my roes came from fishing rivers. I don't recall any other water source producing them.
Also, my "at least an hour on average" may be a biased a little on the long side because I'm going for the fishing achievements, which means I'm picking my water types and moving around to get them (staying within a zone), and so generally being less efficient than if one only cared about going anywhere and getting any old fish to skin.Edited by smacx250 on September 18, 2015 9:31PM0 -
DarthRupert✭✭✭I believe the reason Roe is hard to sell is on account of few things.- The number of users has gone down, especially with IC release and gear grinding becoming a top priority
- The market was flooded with Roe when XP drinks were first introduced
- The current price is incredibly accessible for most players to have built up a personal stock
- With any decent farm spot, anyone can get 200 fish easily in less than 1 hour (I have a 0-5 drop rate from a full stack)
Players who fished before the update (and saved them),likely had thousands to skin when XP drinks were added. I know I had around 8k and a lot of fishing buddies had 10k+ even before the XP drinks were announced.
About the loading screen issue, I doubt that really effects it at all. Most people drink the pots when they plan on earning a lot of XP, so it just doesn't make sense to be spending most of that time traveling. You essentially waste half of the pot by doing so.0
