Drop rate of Companion Only Gears from SCA

I play the SCA frequently and noticed that the drop rate of Comp-Only Gears seem to dip since last week.
I used to get an average of at least 1-2 such gears per run of the Epic level Dungeon.
Nowadays, I frequently get none or at best 1 gear per run.
Just checking in with the community to see if this is a common observation or is RNG just trolling me lately.

I suspected so.
At first I thought I was having a string of bad luck but the runs from the last few days attest to our observations of the ninja nerf...
I've not noticed a difference.

To gather evidence one would have to see that there was a need to keep records of the drops... alas the circumstances behind ALL ninja nerfs. There will never be a way to prove that a ninja nerf was indeed installed. A ninja nerf is something that will never be out in the open. It is meant to keep the players in the dark, but it was WAI.
Similar to them never admitting to the nerf of Shadow of Demise...

My usual chance of companion item from boss was about ~20%. Always. I cant imagine getting 1 item each time I killed an end dungeon boss.
While I did get streaks that I got an item in more than 1 dungeon in a row, but 2 in same dungeon were very very uncommon. Usual chance for item for me is 1 per 2 dungeons and I mean any item, even some talismans of loyal defender.
I havent noticed any difference, however if your memory is correct you were just in favor of RNG until now
A week ago I was getting a drop from a boss every run.
A month or two ago they were dropping from chests also, netting 2-3 gears each run.
Exactly... I gathered enough of them in one week during June to put them in every companion that I had active. I have 2 that I put in the guild bank, I have 2 alts with 3 companions partially geared with them and I have 3 in my shared bank.
How many does that make?
15+2+12+3= 32
32 drops in a week. Last week I ran about the same number of times... and I got about 10 total drops. I would run, on average, 6 times a day. I have earned enough AD to buy a Lightfoot Thief from the AH... but I did not.
1) Contrary to what some say above, not all end bosses drop a Comp Gear (this I'm very sure given the amount of runs I've clocked). I complete 100% of my runs too (killed final boss).
2) For better chance of Comp gears, I complete all the "Treasure quests" (looks like a treasure chest on the map) on every of my runs. You usually have to make a detour to get to these chests.
3) While I did not collect data or track the drop rates over time and plot them on charts, etc as evidence, the total no. of drops I get daily given approximately similar no. of runs per day has decreased (thus my suspicion of a ninja nerf).
Thus I thought of throwing this out and whether others have experienced the same.
How many runs do you do to conclude that there're no difference? How many comp gears are you getting earlier compared to recent weeks? Do you go through all the treasure chests too?
Do share more details instead of just a liner. Thanks.
wish games did not do hidden nerfs like this.. often i think it is unintended and simply something not properly documented with the team that gives us that info.. a lack of "dialog" between developers and players though does little to help..
If they do not acknowledge or deny... then there is zero responsibility.
It is similar to asking someone a question and they redirect you to something else... and ignore your question... but get wound up in what the say.
just woudl love to see some feed back from the devs or producer at this point because the past 2 patches have been.... well it kinda feels like the PC is being ignored ATM, is that due to the xbox or the upcoming strongholds.. dunno..
these companions still kept thier runes, so why not? please let devs to know this.
by the way, prizes really need updates, getting rank 2's and 3's in epic dungeon, it is so pitiful just like that Val the Lich said in her tower, you are so pitiful.
so, that mean it isnt worth wasting time, it need better prizes, right now, just a thief was the only prize to get, but would be nice to see additional rewards.
