I was just browsing around swgcraft.com. And I noticed that almost every server has no more than 3 types of steel currently in spawn. And this includes the 2 JTL steels that are always in spawn. I pay enough attention to resources to know that there is no way this is a freak cooincidence.
I'm curious as to any ideas why they would do this. Do they think we have enough already, or do they think that the weaponsmiths need something to complain about.

this is due to the iron bug that popped up in the last patch until they fixed it....then it resurfaced when p12 came around
if you notice the large amounts of iron spawns are sucking away from the rest of the spawns

I havent noticed this at all,, and been a miner since launch..
resources go in shifts.. FOr a time there will be lots of copper, another lots of reactive gas.. it changes and goes in cycles. i wouldnt be surprised if 6 steels pop next week

But
it's not just on one server, it's on every server.

Heck thats nothing, on the Test Center we went several days with no new gas spawns at all (except the SW reactive gas that was already in shift).And it was the same on all planets, no new inert or reactive gases after the old ones shifted out.
So something has been odd with resources lately, so right now it would be best ot watch the spawns for a few weeks to see if a odd resource shift pattern is starting.

I just think this is the type of problem that should be mentioned by the devs. Whether it's a bug or a feature. Someone should actually submit it as a bug. I am unable to or I would.
