We sailed for several hours last night, sinking jugs, harbingers, colossus, etc., and the average haul was only around 250 to 300 in gold (sometimes less, sometimes more) with treasure sense maxed. Only once out of probably 20 runs did we have a really nice haul like you used to could get every 3 or 4 times out.

Funny... went back out last night, same place, sinking the same ships and had a completely different experience. One haul we got royal after royal after royal (10 total). I thought I'd found the end of a rainbow. The captains share in that run totaled 1,617 in gold.
The only thing different was the server as our usual ocean was crowded with people yesterday.
Its apparently pretty random, but I still think they've reduced the odds of finding the better treasures. Im OK with that, its just always a little difficult to adjust to a change after you've grown accustom to something different (for me anyway).
