There have been requests for changes to be made to endgame Gathering concerning Favors amongst other issues.

With the changes introduced in Patch 3.07 concerning Favors....

**
The duration of favors has been reduced from fifteen minutes to five minutes.
The rate at which concealed gathering points appear has been increased by 300%.
**

It would seem the change of Duration to Five(5) Minutes is just too short, unless the intent of the changes were to lessen the amount of materials gathered from Favors.

Pre-Patch I would average gathering Four(4) - Five(5) Rare Materials per Favor with a high of Seven(7) from some and a low of Two(2) from others. Never Gathering less than Two(2) per Favor.

Post-Patch I now have only gotten One(1) - Two(2) Rare Materials from each Favor with the exception of one which I gathered Five(5).

**End of Post One(1) of Two(2)**
