Yellow Item Vendor Currency values changed?

@GGG, I am really confused of what i'm doing wrong this league. I'm that kind of "boomer" who enjoys looting inventory full with yellow items to vendor them - this way I was always able to buy Kirac Maps with Alchemy Orbs and even Scour/Alch was no problem.

It doesnt work anymore. I loot all items that are yellow and unique (even unique items dont make much sense to mention anymore) and vendor them. Sometimes a full load of red tier map yellow items result in zero alch Shards. That was never the case since i startd playing in Abyss League.

What happened? Did you change sth or am I doing something wrong here?

What you get back is based on the # of mods that an item has, ignoring uniques.

i know that link and it doesn't say a nerf of the values is technically impossible.

and im asking if it was nerfed.

I asked Neversink about it and he replied, that he isnt sure but he recognized also a go-down of vendor shards
