Easter Drops: Moderated?

Is Easter's Special Event Item Drops being moderated? And shouldn't it be announced? All day I've been getting good steady drops. Now all of a sudden, my drops begin to suffer drastically! What gives?

?? Its just like any other event weekend. We get random drops from foes. And it is announced on the main site and the login screen.

You're not understanding me. Special Items are hardly dropping anymore. For a while it was dropping at a certain % rate, and now it's like not even dropping at all anymore! Something to do with Anet's Cruel and Careless nature. Very similar to their punishing nerfs if you ask me. What's the purpose of an event if not to capitalize on those drops? If Anet causes an epidemic in drops, they might as well close the special event or something. It'll stop players from wasting their time... (not that Anet really cares...)

I noticed a decline in event item drops too. I was getting loads earlier today and hardly any later

I'm just after the title Adept Treasure Hunter. I can care less about marketing the drops as I will use them preferrably for title acquisitioning. No point in having an event with no drops... Please fix!

You're overfarming. Take a break. Go do something else. Get a soda. Take a leak. Take 10 minutes away from farming. Then go back. Your drops will improve. And you won't grow mold on your butt.

I'm not over farming, I'm not even farming and the drops totally suck for me too.

I;ve been doing it on and off yesterday and today and havnt noticed any differences.

I think you mean "modified."

If you mean "moderated" then no, "mean ol" a.net has better things to do with their time then come out and get you.

I think somewhere I heard that drops are random... but I'm not quite sure.

Just did a few raptor runs, same as always.

I've kinda noticed the same thing. Thought I would take a break for awhile and see what happens later.

I'm not really sure how the event is programmed, but is it possible that the drops peter out toward the end of the event? Maybe there are a certain number streamlined into the "random" drop generator, so many that they override the other drops, therefore dropping more often. Once most of the sweets have dropped, it's possible they simply don't put more into the sequence, therefore leading to a marked decrease in what drops.

Does that make sense? Like I said, I have no idea how the program these events to work, this was just one scenario.

I just did a few runs, and got more then usual.
What some people don't understand is, is the fact that these drops are random.
Random, as in, you can go on 100 runs without 1, or you can get 20 in 1 run.
(Ofcourse, such extreme values will never be met, but it's an example).

no change in drops for me, lots of bunnies and eggs. Sold 30bunnies yesterday and I'll probably have a stack more to sell before today is done

took me 3-4 hours a stack, today took me 6-8 hours a stack, but gold drops/dyes are the same for me

people remember bad runs more then good.
iafter the update i did notice a good drop in my drops but that could be because my last few runs before uppdate were higher then normal so i had an unfair comparison.

i've had good and bad and i think its all luck, jsut in a wee bad spot atm.

My drops are always better when I enter a new zone.

Fronis was giving me on average 4-5 Easter drops a run yesterday. Tried this morning out of a dozen runs only one had 5 drops, all the rest were one's and two's.
