Ward drops/reward box wards

Excuse me if there has already been a post on this subject. I searched every way I could think of and came up empty every time.
If you know of another thread, could you link it?
Has anyone else gotten the sneaking suspicion that wards are being pushed into the buy only category?
I've invested in 12 character slots, and was shamelessly running all my alts through invocations religiously(pun intended) every day to pickup a celestial reward box weekly for each toon. This resulted in a minimum of a handful of green wards, a blue or two every other week.
Since the revision to invoke system and its reward boxes, I've only seen few green. Mind you, while the rate of green wards found in craft resource boxes seems to have improved, I seem to only be able to procure blue by buying them with AD or Zen. (I also used to get these rarely running the Dread Ring/Sharandar dailies But I find it nearly impossible to complete any of them now. I'm sure that come as a COMPLETE shock to all of you forum readers.)
Is this just my personal run of bad luck? Or is everyone seeing this same trend?

You were getting a coalescent ward every week or two? I find that hard to believe. I've gotten exactly two coal wards from invoking in over two years of play. I only have four toons, but I would invoke them all regularly.
You must have pissed off RNGesus or something. That run is rotten luck is all. I have gotten easily triple that from my 3 toons through invoking.
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
Have you already sacrificed your wife/sister/grandmother/...?
No?
So how can you say it doesn't work???
:^D
I doubt it. They probably have multiple toons. In the old system (not the old old system where you got a lot more coal wards) they were 3% drop rate, that's 33 weeks average to get a coal ward plus or minus 2rng. That's just under 8 months and well someone has to be one of the unluckier ones to not be under that. If they have 15 characters, that'll be 15 coal wards within that time. It's not uncommon for people with leadership farms so that they can actually get by without paying easier. Still it gives an unrealistic impression that the ward rates is enough to not buy any. I've bought hundreds of pres wards and you need 34 coals to have a pair of trans enchantments from scratch. You're not going to get that from a single character's worth of invoking.
That is pretty bad luck unless you missed a lot of invoking.
/shoots you in face. I've never gotten one on any of my toons and I've been playing since the beginning.
Frankly, I won't expect to get many blue wards. I usually just buy them from the Zen store but it is OK since you can still play to get AD and exchange it to Zen although obviously it is harder to get AD now.
They are making players to have to buy stuff from the Zen Store more often. That's quite obvious. Don't keep your hope high they will change it but personally I only buy wards when they are on sale. Patience, young grasshopper! Just be patient on your invocation or wait for the sale...
Are you me?
On my final invoke of the day, for my twelveth character, I finally got a co ward!
Praise RNGesus!!!
Guess he answered your prayers.
I usually get a coal ward one every 30 boxes.
Today, 11 coffers, and i got 2 coalescent wards from them.
I didn't get a single coalescent ward before mod 6, but i used to open them right away... now i wait, and open them later - looks like that is working better for me.
