T15 currency drop broken?

I've run about 20 T15 maps with 2-3 tablets, all with rarity mods, keeping it at at least 100% rarity and the currency drops are worse than what I would get in the campaign. At first I thought I just got unlucky, but now I think there is something seriously wrong with how drops are being calculated. I mean rares will drop a regal shard or two, the best I've seen is an alchemy orb, bosses do the same. Literally the best currency drop I did get was a greater jeweler. I slapped 2 golden charms onto the character too and there is no change at all (though if 150% rarity doesn't help, I don't think 30% would either)



As soon as I get out of the map (be it vaal ruin or abyss) the loot becomes something a bit more what I would expect.

Or am I just consistently extremely unlucky 20+ maps in a row?

Even the league mechanic is not dropping loot as it did in the campaign. The loot explosion from just clearing the circle in the map used to drop an exalt, and I even got two divs from it during the campaign. Meanwhile, in Maps (T15), it sometimes drops one blue or white item...
Yeah, I start to get the feeling too. Have not seen a a div yet, or an annul, or a greater regal, exalt or chaos (let alone perfect), had like 3-4 greater jewellers (no perfect). Starving over here...

I agree, it feels like the currency isn't dropping at all compared to the previous league, but at the same time, people are saying they found some kind of bug in the abyss where they were able to farm a ton of currency. What nonsense is this?
rarity does not work for currency, quantity does and they stopped making things give quantity.

To clarify, rarity increases change of more rare drops such as (Rare/Uniques). Currency drop chance is not increased and as such, the only way to increase its odds were to increase the number of items dropped. Same with maps, you want quantity over rarity.

It does in Poe2, currency has tiers and rarity will mess with drop rates of said tiers.
