There was nothing wrong with Archaeology prior to this change. There are few things left in the game that are long, SOLO grinds, and I was quite enjoying this one. This change is nice, because it brings some more excitement to looting a dig, but I hope it's NOT a sign of more nerfs to come.

That would appear to be the case.
