Did they change the Dragon Hoard loot tables?

Today I farmed until they stopped working and received mostly White Pearls. This has never happened before. Peridots were the main drop.

15% Dragon Hoard - Todays haul: 7,200 RP

1x Lesser resonance stone: 2500 RP
2x Minor Resonance Stone: 1000 RP
4x Peridot: 2000 RP
17x White Pearl: 1700 RP
Total: 7200 RP

    I used to farm all day for RP. Been doing it since Beta. NEVER have I seen this. I suppose it is mathematically possible. Maybe a few others could pay attention to what drops for them and we could get an idea if it was just a bad RNG day for me of if the loot tables have indeed changed.

    I can't imagine Perfect World doing this. It would be the final nail in the coffin.

    It's just observer's bias. A few days ago, I received a black opal.

    A dev confirmed that dragon hoard now has a limit imposed on how much you can get. See this post.
    There is a mechanic on these items to limit how often and how much they can drop each day. A normal game session for a day should not be impacted.

    We have seen players use them heavily to just farm all day with bots and this was one of the valves we closed to that behavior.

    So if you use it all day you could end up with lots of little items or a few big items but not both.

    I know about the nerf. Everyone does. This is in ADDITION to the nerf. Something that just happened TODAY. Not only was the drop rate nerfed now the quality of the drops (Unconfirmed. Waiting on more player responses) has been nerfed.

    My last test (A few days ago)

    15% Dragon Hoard - Todays haul: 13,800 RP

    1x Lesser resonance stone: 2500 RP
    3x Aqua Marine: 4500 RP
    4x Minor Resonance Stone: 2000 RP
    8x Peridot: 4000 RP
    8x White Pearl: 800 RP
    Total: 13800 RP
    Double Refinement (x2): x2
    Grand total: 27600 RP

    Today's test:

    15% Dragon Hoard - Todays haul: 7,200 RP

    1x Lesser resonance stone: 2500 RP
    2x Minor Resonance Stone: 1000 RP

    Yeah, you just got a run of bad luck.

    I am getting typical range of stones: mostly peridots and minor resonance stones, with a few pearls and lesser resonance stones, occasional aquamarine/opal.

    No change for me.

    I never thought bad luck would be good news. :/

    ...also: where did you farm? The lower the zone's level, the worse the DH-generated drops.

    Ha. I never even considered that. I actually started in Blacklake. Nuking things with Ray of Frost just for fun (Wasn't there to farm) then moved to Drowned Shore before posting here.

    I never paid close attention to what came from where. It wasn't until I looked in my inventory that I discovered the "White Pearl heavy" loot. I was already in Drowned Shore by this time.

    I think we may have the answer.
