Anti farm mechanic in this game?

So I been trying to get the celestial justicar cards from ruins zone in act 2 merc, got 2/6 so far on Thursday/Friday also picked up the hermit 9/9 twice in same zone, however since Saturday onwards no cards are dropping from this zone, not dam 1, so I am curious is there some mechanic in place that stops people over farming a single zone multiple times a day/week/month? or have drop rates been stealth nerfed?
Sounds like you got lucky with some drops actually. If you think about it, being able to farm a 6 link item in only 6 days would be ridiculously easy on PoE's scale.

There is a penalty to currency drops if you level above the zone but I don't think the divination cards would be on the currency table. You can read about the penalty here ---> http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Drop_Rate

When I read about the CJ card I went and ran Fellshrine ruins about 25 times and had one Union card drop and that was it. Decided I was probably pretty luck to get the one card that actually dropped and would be better off trying to either buy the cards or just buy a 6 link item.

Right, they aren't currency, however devs confirmed they are affected by currency penalty.

Even common cards aren't too common and CJ is moderately rare, that was some nice luck.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.
