Gathering Stealth Nerf?!

Ok so did gathering get a stealth nerf or something? Two weeks ago on my herb gather fully mastered in luredrop and 20% fineness would CONSISTENTLY average about 150 3 pip luredrop with an 8 hour grind per day for about a week and a half (was farming for d4 expansion)… I took a break for about 2 week after that grind and now now with the exact same stats and even more skill and knowledge I barely break 80 3 pip in the same amount of time… TF!!! and this is not RNG like null lotus or null stones… Again consistently averaged 150 3 pip lure drop in 8 hours over a week and a half and 2 weeks later im barely getting half that amount… Not pointing fingers… Just an observation

am I the only one who noticed this much of a difference? just curious if its literally just me or if other have noticed a reduction like this

Wonder if it’s a bug? Now that you mention it I feel like I am getting less, but I want say that my maxed out gather was gathering less than an alt I was leveling up. Might be worth testing.
