I don’t use Khorvash (in fact I only just got him with event keys yesterday) or TDS in GW/PVP and I have zero issues with 8 or 9k teams, even when my team was around the 7k mark.

Looks like they nerfed it.

Worth remembering that the spawn rate for Gnomes will increase during Vault events.

I hope the spawn rate for Gnomes during Vault events will make up for this severe drop rate nerf as this has completely killed my interest in playing the game.

Gnomes are nearly non-existent. Can’t even find one. I only had found 1 Vault key in my hours of playing, and that’s with Gnomes at a steady rate. Now? … Once every Lunar Eclipse?

According to the release notes, Vault and Bounty are “side events” that happen once a month.

This nerf really sucked all the fun out of play for me today. I was so excited to find just one gnome after seeing all the excitement on the forum. Just ick… 😑

Well that was fun while it lasted but the initial drop rates were quite low I thought I ended up getting 3 total over about 450 matches now. I blame Sheba and her lucky run of 8 post 😛

The spawn rate was most assuredly _not_ perfect as people were getting 100+ gems in an hour. That was completely economy-breaking and the nerf needed to come and quickly as well.

However.

I feel that the nerf, as it happened, isn’t really well thought-out. While some spawn nerf was justified, making a new feature of the patch basically non-existent again is not very smart (especially since not everyone was here for the few minutes where Gnomes did spawn).  
It would, in my eyes, be far better to make an adjustment to what the Gnomes drop. Making the 20 gems and Vault Keys rarer while increasing the not-so-special rewards like souls while still letting Gnomes happen would keep things motivating for the players.

I was working on a post saying pretty much the same thing (but with a lot more words) but it looks like you got it covered, so I’ll put my TLDR thoughts here. The RNG double/triple blind leaves enough room so you can _see_ the gnomes, but not have them break the economy. Having a gnome be a once in a week experience for normal play, then having said gnome give you a handful of gold or souls is more embittering than anything. And its not like I’m going to run down the street screaming with joy when I hit the now lottery-odds of getting 100 gems or a handful of keys - as an individual super high rarity event, this is not in the least impactful.

Basically, what was hoping for from this feature was a way to actually occasionally _see_ some increase on the resources that actually matter through _actually playing the game_, even if slowly, so it felt like I could get off the treadmills of just playing endless dailies/weeklies every now and then if I had some extra time and wanted to play it might actually mean something **in a mode that isn’t treasure hunt**. Not it _might_ have a _chance_ of a shot that it _could_ mean something.

Also this. Quadruple check things like this in the future.

😳 Someone working on a post saying the same as me but using even more words is scary… and not what I’m used to. Normally I’m the one using 100x the words others need to get the same thing across.😂

I’m agreeing with all of the rest you wrote. Just wanted to toss that out.😅

Exactly, a new feature with modest rewards but with enough “visibility” is better than one that **can sometimes be very profitable** but extremely rare.
