Keys from Map Comp, stealth nerf?

[Kruhljak.2705]

Yes, yes, I know the kneejerk assumption here, but just asking for some anecdotal confirmation.

Are people still getting keys from map completion since the Halloween update? I've just gotten my 14th trans charge in a row since the update (got my last key the evening before the update). Up til now, I've not logged a span of more than 7 map completions between keys (5,6,3,5,7,2,2,3,2,4,6,2,3,6,5,1,1,2,2,7,1,7,5,4,3,4,3,3,7,2,3,2,4,2,2,4,3,3,5,1,3,4), and all of a sudden right after the update, I'm on number 14 without a key. Seems an...interesting coincidence...after 42 previous keys from map comps to suddenly be on double the span after an update. I'm leery enough of stealth changes or weird bugs from normal updates, but this recent template update has wrought havok and affected even some seemingly unrelated things.

I will note that the 14 map comps have been in the low level "starter" maps as I've been roughing out some empty character slots after getting tired of running circles in the Lab. However, the usual expectation has previously held true even for these maps which appear to have always had the same chances as any others.

It's just RNG. Sometimes it loves you, other times it wants you to die in a pool of your own tears. There were times I would get a key every other map and then there were times, like now, where I'm lucky if I see one on a new toon at all.

I got a black lion key a few days ago for completion in Queensdale.

I did HoT map completion last week and two out of the four maps gave me a key. It's just RNG.

I've been doing PoF maps and have not noticed any difference there. Keys still dropping.

I'm not a statistician, but my guess is doubling your previous dry spell wouldn't really qualify as a notable event. I think a fourteen map dry spell would be expected something like one out of every fifty trials . . ?

Ok, well thanks for the confirmations. I was mostly wondering if anyone was getting them at all since I had no evidence of it myself.
