    Has Gold Division Tech been reduced since maintenance?

    The past couple of days I've got one gold Division Tech from a tech box. One. I've been on several hours each session, looking for Division Tech while farming named enemies in the dz, and that's all I get. I was only able to craft my weapon thanks to getting the one measly gold tech from the daily assignment, and one from a supply drop.
    They're really trying to push us away from crafting, but weapon drops are still too infrequent, and weapon scores too low for the ones you do get, even with good scavenging. So if you want the best, there's no better option than to craft. Yet they're constantly making it harder for us to do so!

    I have yet to find gold tech from boxes, ever.
    The ones i have gotten are drops from DZ mobs.

    It's totally random, based on RNG, some days you're going to get some, some days you aren't, but they did give you an opportunity to get Gold Div tech by doing the dailies. Named bosses in the DZ also drop them now and then, again it's all based on RNG and no scavenging percentage does not help with boxes, only for quality of gear you get from mobs. Ran around the DZ the other day with a friend, he got 6 gold out of the 9 boxes we opened, I got 1.

    I understand the RNG aspect. It's just I always used to get a few golds at least each night, with the amount of farming I did (I have a set Tech route I regularly go through). To only get one from boxes the last two evenings (totalling around 10 hours playtime) makes me think something has been done behind the scenes.

    I am not getting any gold tech from boxes either (not counting suppy drops) But in total I am getting steady income of few pieces for low time investment into DZ.

    Been playing less DZ due to the unlimited DPS 1 shot you're dead bug and rogues.

    "wait they patched that"

    Yes, but ppl have been using other methods to mimic the same dps bug and one shotting ppl through Survival link.

    ...so with the few d tech I've looted, no gold. I'm glad at least the crafting dailies give you one.

    They might have put in the stealth nerf of it when they re-did the crafting system, I wouldn't put it past them. Most of the time all of the DT boxes have already been taken when I get to them, and when I do find one I don't really have much expectation of getting any Gold DT, but if I do, Yippieeeeeeeeee.

    If you can kill dz5/6 solo or with group, bosses there drop he div tech like candy.

    It seems they did drop the rate from boxes. But if you kill bosses in dz 5/6 and get supply drops you will get plenty of gold. 1 definatly maybe 2 if boss drops it from supply drop and you have a 40% high chance to get them from dz 5/6 bosses.

    I looted 20 boxes the other day, got 1. I used to get 2 or 3 every 5-6 boxes and some boxes would drop 2 at a time.
