Can't really say if drop rates have been nerfed or not I've never had that much luck to begin with it seems haha... that said however, these past 3 days I've looted three orange items from mob drops (1 2 slot gloves, 1 1 slot gloves and a 2 slot staff)... don't seem to see the different coloured chests any more but that said the loot would appear to be still dropping... coincidence? luck? who knows....
