Did they ninja nerf the Dragon hoard enchantments?

Before all this x2RP weekend i was getting 1 stone per every 2-3 mins, that is farming them. Now im getting one per 15-20 mins. I know a lot of you might not notice the change if you dont farm them. I have 10% chance of drop btw. I know all of this x2 rp is all strategically planned to get ppl to spend more money, some of us cant afford the cost of the game and have to rely on farming the stones rather than buying them.

    They implemented some sort of anti-farming code to it. I'm not certain as to its exact effect, but I've heard that it either caps at a certain amount of RP per day, or stops working after a certain amount of playtime per day, (do a forum search and I'm sure you'll find some people's test results regarding this).

    I believe it's actually both of those things.

    I dont know about this, since before this weekend i was able to farm it all day without any problem. Now i just cant. Also did a forum search and nothing came up.

    Short answer - yes, they ninja nerfed them.
    We don't know the exact details, but they basically stop working after a bit except for maybe one every 20-30 minutes - if you are lucky.
    DON'T
    PANIC!

    There's a time and a quantity limit - both. They didn't specify what they were, and so farm I haven't seen any data that players have uncovered. They said it wouldn't effect a "normal" game session, but like everything else that comes out of their mouth... well... better watch where you step.

    The nerf had happened at or around the launch of Mod 6, confirmed by Panderus, and is probably being tweaked occasionally. When it came out, the normal playing session was supposed to end after 30-60 minutes...

    I'd assume yes on all counts. You'll never get your AD back by upgrading those things now.
    If DH enchants are not char bound, they should be. And if they are already char bound, nerfing them further has nothing to do with bots, because you need campaign boons to get them.
    All about sales...

    They nerf everything and make the game so hard to play that people will leave, soon we have nothing left at all.

    Yes. They nerfed DHEs back in January and then didn't admit to it for months. When enough players complained, they promised to 'look into' whether they'd gone too far with the nerf, then did absolutely nothing and ignored the issue thereafter. DHEs are still useful but I wouldn't bother upgrading one past rank 8. Now that they've pulled the rug out from under us with leadership and getting daily AD will be a matter of a soulless two hour grind, I wouldn't recommend upgrading them AT ALL.

    You cant ninja nerf the enchantments any further then they already have been. Honestly anyone who's running Dragon Horde enchantments now is just wasting their time. The rewards are nonexistent.
