ANNOUNCEMENT: GM Apraxis announced that an error in the way the adjustment to the feeder boost algorithm was made caused a reduction in the number of random objects in the past week or so. It’s been corrected, and as an apology for the error, we’ll still be enjoying 20% more experience until the end of the Feeder Frenzy on August 16. More details:

During the recent overhaul to the feeders, the algorithm was adjusted in a way that would cause a reduction in the amount of random objects generated when looting. It was not directly related to the frenzy itself, nor was it strictly about enhancives. They were still dropping but not at the intended amounts.
This has been corrected after another code review, and items should return to their previous levels. Please note that you will be unlikely to verify this in a single day, it did take a week for the pattern to emerge.
As an apology, I have asked the chief to extend the currently running 20% bonus exp until the end of the frenzy, thereby extending it another week.
