Uh, is it just me or....

I've had the same thoughts...a few days ago, I was questing (with full treasure sense) for EITC galleons and frigates, and I hit a few Warlords that gave me about 6 cargo crates and treasure chests, and 1 lonely royal. I hit a Marauder and got 3 royals. It makes no sense. LOL. I don't know if the recession has hit the Caribbean or if D is just being a penny-pincher, but I miss my royals.

I have noticed, however, when I've got full crew (usually I'm not captain, I prefer hitting up public ships and joining large crews) the total amount of gold seems to be better despite the lack of royals being brought in. Could be just me doing some wishful thinking, though. =)
