Shadow ban, ninja nerf or what?

I had fun this league. Not by league mechanics, my builds are not really good for them and I'm not top-1% to minmax appropriately. I had fun learning advanced crafting, money making strategies, started learning how to move in the world of multi-exalt items and much more. I didn't have problems with map sustain, alch sustain, general drops, everything was fine till like 2 days ago.

I thought it will be fun to try crafting double elevated tailwind-elusive boots. I set up watchstones and 4 maps for valdo's rest nemesis harbinger, run one of them, got usual profit (5-ex with lucky 2 exalted orbs raw drop) and went to sleep. Next day it started:
- 3 remaining valdo's maps gave like trash money - like 0,5 ex or less per map with same setup,
- it took me over 2k alts (and lot of augs) to hit tailwind with craftofexile.com showing average of 630 alts and 140 augs,
- 90 awakened sextants without hitting nemesis mod for watchstone,
- no juicy harvest outcomes,
- 9 attempts to corrupt prism guardian with one desirable outcome, one shitty corrupt, 2 no-effect corrupts and 5 items turned yellow.

I know, rng, but it hit me so hard on every field that I started to wonder, what's going on. Was it ninja nerf after top 1% finished the league? Was I too successful comparing to my previous leagues? Did I earn too much selling harvest-crafted cluster jewels? Was I reported for scamming when someone bought something from me and realized he could craft it himself for half of price? Or maybe it was kind reminder from ggg to stop playing if I don't pay and not waste server resources? Some reddit threads show that there might be something going on but do you have similar feelings?

Dude... conspiracy theory much? Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are not nearly important enough to ninja-nerf stuff just because of you. You were unlucky, get over it. And stop reading reddit, it kills brainpower.

edit: The top 1% finished the league 1-2 weeks ago, meaning your luck-streak from before wouldn´t have been possible.

Sun always shine on tv :)

You had a good streak, then returned to the usual experience where 99% of players are 99.9% of their time. Its just designed like this. Sure it feels bad after all. For a first time.

But now you can remember how it feels like to be 1%

I'll go with "or what".

most of those are fairly standard OP, feelsbadman but better deal with it :p sadly common

We all like to blame bad luck on someone or something. We've been doing it since we could think.
