Did they stealth nerf the Psijic Fragment drop rate?

I have 4 V16 chars that I do daily provisioning quests on they are maxxed out and I can't remember the last time I actually got a fragment, whereas before the Orsinium DLC I would usually geat at piece every 3 days or so on one of my characters!

Or are the Recipe fragments linked to Craglorn and that provisioner hand in? i.e. lvl 9 provisioning rather than 10?

Thank you for any information

    Yes, the drop rates always go down as more people do the writs. People will say it is just a random number generator, but computers can not generate a true random number. The simple truth is, the more people perform a writ dungeon or whatever trying get that "item", the possibility of receiving that "item" drops, to keep the game from being flooded with that "item".

    Ok thanks it's just that I do daily writs on 4 chars and seriously can't even remember the last time I got a fragment - maybe more people are doing them since the DLC then :/

    Yes.. they severely nerfed the drop rates for the psijic ambrosia frags. I used to at least get 1-2 per week on two characters doing writs every day, now I am lucky if I get 1 per month on the same two characters.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    I've had two fragments drop from writs since day 1 when they first became available. I had to buy the rest :(

    I have 2 provisioners and do the writs almost every day. I'm one frag away from my 2nd full recipe but ut seems that suddenly I just don't get the drops anymore. :(

    It has a relatively low rate to appear, supposedly bigger in higher level areas/writs. I think Orsinium's was just made lower than the others to begin with lol

    Got my first Psijic Frag from Orsinium today, after trying since DLC Day 1... Mind you, only 1 of my characters can do this writ because Orsinium requires you be at least VR1 due to the Craglorn check but still...

    Yes. I used to get them regularly when they were introduced, then after a couple of months I stopped getting any. It continued for so long I stopped doing Prov writs altogether.

    I also find malachite with much lower frequency than I used to. I assume they just nerf drop rates when recipes/motifs hit the crown store. I might be wrong, maybe it's just bad luck, but it's been too consistent not to look suspicious.

    I do 3 writs a day and haven't seen one for awhile. I have 2, 3, 4, 5, and I have an extra frag # 5. Xbox 1 NA server, msg Unsent Soul if you have 1, 6, or 7 and/or need number 5.

    Yeah, I noticed this too. I used to get one every 2 weeks tops. It has been a month now and no drops whatsoever.
