Don't know if anyone else noticed or ran into the same issue yet, but on top of removing some of the close to the beginning profession nodes and chests, they seem to have added a limit to the number of chests/nodes you can "harvest" in any given period of time. The place i do my farming at remains almost unchanged except for a node near the door, but during my farming this evening I noticed something interesting. THE NODES STOP GIVING YOU SHIT!
You get 1 junk item, and if its a chest/body you get the silver, but there are no uncommon items or enchants/rune stones. Every single chest/node in the last 3 resets has done this to me (tested it to make sure it wasn't just bad luck)
Also, the grey junk items you get seem to also be the lower priced ones. For example I was getting Broken Glass which sells for 2 copper rather than the 6 silver items I ALWAYS got before.
