The Cartels Event has nerfed droprates in other maps

I was doing well on pandora, M7 stuff is dropping like it’s hot. Then I went to farm a ion canon or two from the fabricator in the DLC. I actually stopped killing things on the way though the map to get to it because absolutely nothing dropped.
I read more and more posts about it being even worse at M10.
Pro tip, The event should buff the area that it is supposed to buff, Not nerf the other areas.

You mean Loot the Borderlands event?

Pandora is the active planet for the Loot the Universe event, so drop rates are much higher there than normal. You’re confusing the Loot the Universe drop rates with the Mayhem 2.0 drop rates. The drop rates in the DLC are actually normal, and the drop rates on Pandora are ludicrously high.

No, Your confusing my meaning. All other maps are completely dry of legendary drops. There are no legendary drops whatsoever in any other map.
The event both nerfed other maps drop rate AND buffed pandora.
This is the 3rd time they nerfed drop rates unintentionally with a patch.
Every patch breaks something. This patch broke more than it fixed.
GBX has thus been downgraded from AAA , to amateur game developer status

Noticed the same thing with the Handsome Jackpot DLC. A few days ago, you could run the Scraptrap Prime boss over and over and get the underbosses to spawn in. Got several good weapons from them. Went back yesterday after the latest hotfix and did not get an underboss to spawn in after 5 runs, even though the gold/yellow beacon was set off. The only legendary to drop was from Scraptrap.

I haven’t run the jackpot in a minute but if it’s anything like farming Tom/Xan the standard world drops have crept and over polluted the dlc world drops. Some people say it’s fine but nobody in my group is doing that farm there because now you get mostly standard crap
