Strange that you guys think so. I totally disagree. As a matter of fact, I made a post sveral days back, commenting on how much richer the loots were. I get green items (magical, legendary, etc) from crates (not chests) and urns even. Almost every ore node is giving me gems in addition to the regular ore.

I'd like to close by quoting Bellegar's famous last rhyme:

"Cursed be the mother that bred thee!
The wench must have been a hell-spawned banshee!"
