Yeah when I ran Shattered Mountain chests after the patch, I ended up with over 1200 of each refining material, whereas before, it was always around 700-800. They are mostly all so damn cheap though that it doesn't matter that much. I have a hard time finding space for all of them. Doing a Shattered Mountain chest run is such a headache because when you're finished you have to figure out what to do with the 800 weight on you. You have to manually go through every piece of gear and decide to either salvage it or try to sell it, and then you have to find space for all the refining mats. Lol I'm starting to avoid chest runs as a result now, because I always have to spend over an hour afterward figuring my shit out.
Anyone else see Asmon exploiting the named boss in Reekwater (Siren's Brute, I believe)? You're supposed to need an arena key, but they hop the wall and kill it every 5 minutes. I really want to do it, but I feel like that's totally ban worthy and while Asmon won't get banned, us plebs while. It's so juicy though, by far the fastest way to raise your gearscore.
