They might be easier because you have to try to die in patrol which makes it mind numbing boring to gather. My point was though it is 10 to 1 ratio, that is just horrible trade in any mmo or game I have ever played. As someone pointed out though "Something was taken away that he enjoyed. Don't worry about why he liked it. Put yourself in his shoes and imagine a mechanic in the game that you use being removed. It was unnecessary." I have to agree it was taken out unnecessary, since i have no idea why anyone would make the trade in the first place.
