Hello, idk what happened, but the stygian stone drop rate seemed to be drastically lowered after the patch.
We are farming 101 pits and after the patch, it’s like 1 stone every 30 pits, whereas before the patch it would be 3-4 stones.

Ran 48 pit 89’s and got none. Blizz must have caught wind that they are selling for 25m+ gold each and have to shut that down. Rather ridiculous that a season that only lasts 3 months has to be throttled to this point.
When the effort exceeds the reward, people will stop putting in the effort.
There’s no reason the devs can’t build in a counter under the surface. If something has a 10% chance and it’s dropping 0 after 48 runs then it’s not working. Simply build in a counter that triggers after every 10th completed run.

it’s not rng then 
you’re happy when u loot 6 stygian stones in a row or an uber unique the first time u do tormented duriel. And sad when u try 100 times and nothing comes that the true power of RNG

" Blizz must have caught wind that they are selling for 25m+ gold each and have to shut that down."
The best way to shut that down would be to increase their drop rates, not nerf it. Simple supply and demand.
It is for sure broken. Nothing from pits or world bosses. Since the update.
Yes. It is for sure broken. Far less than before.
I play a few hours throughout the day, usually.
Like us all - again ran outa gold, <1mill in trying to level several chars gears/upgrades: sold 8 Stones this morn (24th June).
So in last week I have sold 15 that have dropped in say last 2 week period, but I run Pits most days, dropping levels of 5, say from P111 then 106, etc. down to 81 for fun :-(, even had 2 drop in a row, but then nothing for days, dunno if it’s just me but doing same level I seemingly got less drops? (prob not)
Sad old case of rng and how po0p it can be, FRUSTRATING!!!
Same Here ,150 enters from 3 days and 0 drop…
I don’t know if i have been lucky. But i have found 75+ so far this season. I usually get one every third pit run of 100+.
Definitely feels broken right now.
I haven’t had 1 drop since the last patch, but thats my stinking luck, no Ubers either except for crafted ones. and I have played for hours everyday since season launch, good job my other hobby is bashing my head against a brick wall, so I already enjoy the pain.
I’ve run approximately 30 pits this evening (half 91s, half 101s) in an effort to get Stygian Stones, but have only seen 2 drop. Both came out of 101s. Overall, I’ve been relatively lucky acquiring Stygian, but over the last few weeks the drop rate appears to have become considerably worse. This feels pretty counterintuitive given that killing Tormented Bosses and pushing pit levels are effectively the only two true endgame activities, and the abysmal Stygian drop rate acts to effectively nullify half of them. This issue is underscored by the consistently mediocre and repetitive loot drops from Tormented Bosses, making the Stygian grind feel truly unjustified by its potential reward.
