Well it looked bad this morning but after running it I believe I got it mostly figured out.

They have removed both the gear loot and the exp from the Crystal, all it does now is pop the boss. but it does give 67 gold loot but no more gear drops.

They have added exp for the add kills, no loot though.

The Boss still gives the same exp and loot as he did before.   the average is 38K each kill.

Healers can still be solo, hit the crystal then the boss and spam heal, if you do enough healing you will get exp and loot without being in the group.  Non healers I suggest you group up.

Before the Nerf you could run between 2 anomalies and if you took both the crystal and the boss, you could  grind out between 600-700K per hour, now you need to run between 4-5 to grind out 1/2 of what it was before.  It is sometimes hard to get a group if you are lower than v5 because you have to out dps the other groups to get the kills,  so groups are inclined to go for higher members. I noticed some groups will take one lower level per group so you might just get lucky its worth a try. Healers if you are solo you need to have the highest healing.  If you are soloing it and a V11-12 healer is also there solo, well you don't get squat.  If you are a V1-V2 and the group is not taking anything don't be surprised if you get dropped.  Its a lot of work but you can still hit 300-400K per hour as long as your out dpsing the other groups.  But that's why they call it grinding,  sometimes it's smooth as silk, and sometimes its an aggravating zoo of idiots.

In a nut shell its twice the work for 1/2 the exp and reduced loot.

The chest still drops loot....sometimes. I spent an hour in a run last night, and maybe 10% of the chests droped items. And mostly blues or even greens. Only got one purple.

The loot adjustment is probably for the better. It was crazy how many purple drops you got before.

At VR3 I get around 22800 vet points when the boss dies.

It is a change for the better all the way around. It gave way too much XP and ridiculous loot for very little work. However, it doesn't mean that I am not a bit sad at the loss of such a wonderful place to farm.

Damn! I was looking forward to leveling my alts there. I didn't really see the anom grind as a cheat, more like an alternative for those people who didn't want to do all those stupid quests. Kind of disappointed that ZO had to come in nerf it. If they had half a brain, they would cut the vet point requirement for each VR level by 90%.

It is as many things are in a new release, people found a way to "exploit" this and as a result the developers had to tone it down.  I am certain they did not envision the trains that were going from crystal to crystal.  I think they wanted the leveling to V12 to take longer, to have everyone do the quest lines to gain max exp.  "Exploring" is one their prime tenants in the game, even though many hate the grind etc.

All is well there is plenty to do.
