Wow.. historically I'm lucky if I get 10 threads per lambda - and you usually get 15-20?!

Agreed. Sorry OP, if you were regularly getting 15 threads a trial, you were just massively lucky in the past. Are you sure you were not thinking of totals after converting a few Astral Merits? I normally get 4 to 8 threads on a Lambda, even with killing a lot of baddies.

Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
Yeah, gotta go with the others on this... 4-6 Threads is my average for any trial I've ever ran. I can't remember a single time I ever got more or less than that. I probably have but it's been so few times that I simply can't recall them.
Getting 15-20 Threads is just an insane number of lucky RNG rolls. I won't say it couldn't have happened because it can.
Welcome to the land of mere mortals, OP. 
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
yes I got 15 or so when the Ixp was borked. Before conversion of Astral - last night I checked this same toon after a lambda AND a BAF - had not done anything with the first 4 threads and had a total of 8 threads for 3 runs

This is ridiculously lucky. I get about five threads or so a run. Usually enough with my four astrals to afford a common.

Ok, this may make sense then - if threads drop like shards (Everyone has a chance to pickup a thread from a fallen enemy- rather than chance for drop then distributed to a teammate at random), when they made the entire league get credit for kills, you'd have chance to get the threads from enemies the entire league defeats, rather than just your team (notably at the sabotage league split stage)...|

While adjusting the iXP to account for this, they may have also adjusted the thread drop rate.
So it might be better explained as a temporary thread drop rate increase that was re-adjusted back to near normal.

If that were the case, others would have made note of the high number of threads, and the responses to the OP wouldn't pretty uniformly be, "Wow, that was sure lucky before, I never saw that," but instead include, "Yeah, where'd all the threads go?"|

I know that I never saw an increased # of threads while iXP was borked.
My postings to this forum are not to be used as data in any research study without my express written consent.
I took one of my toons that had never run an Incarnate trial out on Wednesday night to see what kind of Incarnate xp she would get.
After one run of Lambda she had 44% unlocked. But, I found a trade off. I am used to receiving approximately 15-20 threads during a Lambda. To my surprize, my toon had just FOUR yup that is 4 threads after a sucessfull completion.
Is this working as intended or did the thread drop rate take a nose dive?
