Is 90% returns still the norm?

Markup shouldn't be considered in the % return equation. Just saying. For example: If I loot a rare item that's only worth 2 PED, but can be sold or traded for thousands of PED, it still only "cost" MA 2 PED.

And those bastards still took the 2 ped item out of the loot anyway.

I've not counted it for a long time, I only use the tt value of the stacks and items returned against my outgoings i.e. repair bill as I only use UL stuff.

I've seen the low end hunting return rate drop over the past 1 - 2 years but most would attribute that to too low a turn over and but I'd also suggest as that most mobs generally have a mission chain that's screwed up their loot tables and that MA limited the amount of loot they can drop because of people bitching about low end mobs dropping hofs (even if they'd got one earlier in their EU life).
