drastic Increased ICD on fey blessings and dragon hoard

It appears that the fey blessings and dragon hoards ICD's have increased to at least 1 min a piece ( maybe more ) .
So now that we have to grind these out for our artifact RP ( due to latest BoA ) it will take EVEN longer to get them .
Getting even harder for the casual player to compete .

    What statistic evidence do you have to proof your claim? While I don't have any myself I haven't noticed any differences in drop behavior from the dragon hoard enchant. But that's just my feeling.

    I'm wondering if there actually is an internal cooldown. Unfortunately drops are not logged in the combat log.

    I havent been running any farm foundries, but farming dragon hoard coffers ( so lots of killing) drop rate seemed the same, but actually better coz the loot table seems to be improved as tehre were less pearls dropping and more peridots and aquamarines.

    Yes, there is an ICD. In the old horde maps, I could reliably trigger the horde proc with a single cast- but it would only proc one every.. I forget, around 25 seconds or so. Might have been 30. No amount of killing, spamming dailies etc. would proc it a second time during that period. However, once it was elapsed, it always fired on my first substantial multi-mob kill- without fail.

    The downside was that doing this was so boring that on one occasion, I actually fell asleep at the keyboard.

    I have ran multiple areas with multiple toons and I have noticed a definite drop with fey and dragon hoard enchantments .
    The ICD was supposedly around 20 to 30 secs previously .
    With the drops I am getting lately it is definetely upwards of 50 secs to 1 min between drops .

    Really? I have noticed (i thought) an increase in dropped rf items, figured it made good sense since they made em all Bta...

    If they change anything, I'd expect it to be the distribution- i.e. a better chance for some of the higher stones to drop. Anyway, "it made good sense" is assuming a lot, given recent form, too :)

    Yes, if they fail to increase the RP supply in some way, making artifacts feasible, they will kill their own game, but hey.. someone else's problem.

    Hehe true thinking that the devs have common sense, is probaly to much:) Personaly i dont care since i invested in 50-60 stacks of different RP items before they got Bta, so already doubled my ad, and predicting it will go up a 2-3 times more when double rp weekend hits, so yeah atleast i got rich off this stupid decision... But yeah either they invent a new way of gaining rp or people will undoubtly leave this game:)

    I have definitely noticed a decreased drop rate, I have 5 lesser hoards, and have barely been getting 2 drops a minute

    Will get own tests in, but if true, absolutely horrible of course.

    In my CN runs, I have made several tests in the long corridor with lots of weak adds killing them at the same time with oppressive force (I use my legendary sigil of the devoted to recharge daily as fast as possible). Before the patch enchants (I wear 4 lesser dragon hoard) triggered at least once each 20 secs, which was a nice drop rate. Well, after the patch they take 120 secs to drop something! (I have had to wait different periods of time in that corridor in order to find out the new cool down...).

    I tested this yesterday and noticed that I get 2 procs in 30 seconds between (today had 2 with 25 secs cooldown), so no ICD isn't changed.

    Weird that people are getting such different results. I myself tested the ICD in the foundry and barely got any drops.
