I haven't been out hunting GDK's since a few days after Pub 9, but another armorsmith was telling me something interesting. He said that recently the random spawns were not respawning. You kill the one GDK that's at the random spawn point, wait for its corpse to poof, and nothing respawns.
He knows what he's talking about, since he said that before he was getting four or five from a single random spawn (exactly what I was getting, and killing enough GDK's to loot eight scales when they were dropping one at a time I've seen it all when it comes to GDK's).
Anyone else seeing this?

Nope, haven't been seeing that. Just hunted some a few days ago and multiple ones were spawning from the points. Found an uber spawn location where there were three spawn points right next to each other, and with 5 from each, my group and I had 14 more GDK kills to add to our records in about 6 hours. 
So yeah, they're still spawning around 5 per point.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking maybe he was finding GDK's that had wandered a good bit away from their original spawn point.

This could be a solution they have to RIS quest items dropping in series... since GDK scales are pretty rare to begin with, they might figure that one GDK is enough for anyone if it drops a set.
While recently hunting PekoPeko Albatross, we took out four or five of these birds... I later handed Tess a bag of -20- feathers. I'd imagine that RIS armor would be a bit more common if this were the case for GDKs.

Spawn rate is fine, its just that everyone is out hunting them now.
Since someone could make around 4mil per scale, and get between 4-9 scales, its like hitting the lottery.

Or a spawn that someone/something had killed off the rest of the spawn... OR he could just have really bad timing with the spawn shift times...
