I have been visiting DM quite often recently in order to mine info. I have visited in really off hours when I can easily get the luggable and mine without getting ganked. Most times I am the only one in there.
However since the latest update I have noticed far fewer nodes to tap in the few areas low lvl players can tap in (the parking lots, etc. you low levels know where they are).
Previously if I visited in off hours when no one was inside these areas were FULL of data nodes to tap and I was able to pull in 10-12million (using the lug) before getting bored, attracting a 255 agent or tapping most of the nodes out, now I get 4-6million in the same areas over the same time frame.
At first I thought that perhaps I was "on the tail" of the pro data miners and they had tapped out the easier areas where I go, but now I have observed enough to know this is not the case. There just seem to be fewer and smaller nodes popping up in these specific areas. I also see more 255 agents than I used to but I cannot say for sure if this is related to the update or not.
Anyone else notice this? Is it possible that the Devs have "nerfed" the lowbie areas?
