I have seen posts about this around many patch days, minor and major updates and expansions. I always read them and think 'silly poster you got it all wrong', but unfortunately I am about to say the same.
Am I on a terrible bad luck streak with the loot fairy or has something actually changed this time? Myself and a couple friends run sites to fund our PvP activities and used to make a decent living. Not mega rich or anything but a couple hundred mil drop here and there, occasional larger A-type drop.
In the last 2 months we have run over 100 sites and have received the escalations and faction spawns from these as regularly as before. Yet in these 2 months no escalation or faction spawn has dropped a single faction or deadspace item. We have made no money whatsoever during this time and our PvP is making it run a little low. We run sites in sansha, bloods, and serpentis space.
Even the 7/10's and such that the wiki says guarantee faction or B/A type loot have dropped us nothing. Our last site we ran was a 6/10 in bloods space that spawned a named overseers battlecruiser in the last pocket and all he dropped was a faint warp disruptor.
Any input?
TL:DR 2 months running over 100 DED sites and not a single drop from all the faction rats we got. |

I actually thought I had posted in missions/complexes. Ooops. If any forum mods read this I am an idiot please fix me
Eve tribune seems to indicate that certain named final overseers of higher end sites are guaranteed to drop faction/deadspace loot even if it is not worth much. Last night we ran a Blood Raider 8/10 though, finally killed the named overseer guy in the last pocket and he dropped a faint warp disruptor and nothing else. Every time we run these 7/8/9 DED sites we keep saying on the way in '3 months of no drops from factions, this one is gonna be good, it has to be'. Then a damn faint warp disruptor is all we have for our efforts lol.

Anyways I always have fun finding and running these sites and dodging gate camps to get there etc so I'm not raging or anything it's just a bit puzzling. |

2) If a mod DID start dropping half as often, then it's price would inflate 2x and you'd be earning the same
Id actually rather the high end mods dropped rarely for us so they remain expensive. Its the getting nothing form any site of any kind thing thats annoying.
I think im probably just in a bad luck streak, any time these threads appear around patch times im always saying to the people invloved 'random is random'.
