Game Mechanics: Mobs don't drop enough plat

[koros]

Something I've noticed more and more playing on Ragefire lately, and also recalled from classic is that the vast majority of mobs don't drop the same amount of plat they used to on live. Mobs that would routinely drop 3-5pp and 6-7 gold, will drop far less. It's small on an individual scale, but overtime it places additional competitive pressure on specific pp farming spots and changes the macro economics of the game.

This is something of a preliminary post as it's a big topic, but I'll try to throw together some parses of live eq vs the same mobs here, assuming we believe the mechanics of pp dropping haven't changed.
