Been doing it with another monk. Average at least one glob a run (mind you we kill the smites, do the first quest, and kill every aatxe/spider we can get to). So it's been alright.

I find they rarely drop in large groups, and doing it solo nets gold at best.

Maybe you didnt know this but the more you zone into and kill the same monsters over and over the drops lower everytime. I have a screen of it when telling me this if you want any confirmination.

Fixed issues with last week's update that could cause loot drops to completely stop for some players after repeated map entries, and substantially improved the loot system so that only the most extreme forms of farming will cause monsters to start to run low on loot.

I've noticed the same thing. I suppose we do sort of deserve it >D

However, I find that it's best to switch up your farming areas as much as possible in one day. Don't do UW runs the whole day, switch to something else and then come back later. I find I get at least one glob if I do it that way.

It's kinda nice, I never ran UW at all until now. So I get to see what's in there. Those Darkfire things or whatever, the dark drakes. Man those things smoke me every time. It is quite hilarious.
