Been like that since issue 21 launched, my guess is it is to combat the flipping of salvage. Kinda makes crafting a pita.
6 slotted brawl with Hecatombs FTW BTW!!!
Im rich because you trust the previous 5 bids!!
My market signature is the highest bid!!!!
I can't find the thread, but yeah--several of us noticed that when I21 went live. I don't think it's any real effort to "combat flipping" or balance the market in any way--I think it's an unintended consequence of changes to the random number generator for things like the Windfall power and possibly custom individualizing the rolls for, say, F2P vs. VIP players.

According to my logs, I'm seeing double salvage drops about 3.5% of the time, with the frequency roughly the same across all enemy ranks. The overall salvage drop rate has increased by around 50%, and the double drops alone aren't enough to account for that.

I recall when I21 went live, and I found myself in posession of a dozen or more additional salvage slots, I breathed a sigh of relief. But it also seems like my Salvage menu button looks more like Salvage a lot more often.| The overall salvage drop rate has increased by around 50%, and the double drops alone aren't enough to account for that. |
A 50% drop rate increase is surprising, but now that you mention it, I'm not exactly disbelieving. It certainly FEELS like my inventory maxes out faster. My brother who recently resubbed has been filling up with similar alacrity. I am curious to the reasoning behind such a marked increase.

My salvage bin has been overflowing and the price of salvage has been dropping in the auction house, so I was pretty sure they had increased the drop rate, but I had no real numbers to back it up.

I was gonna guess at day jobs myself, because I have a habit of taking the Oro one and I know I get double recipes fairly often and love it. I've only seen a few double drops on mobs like you have here. I'll try a few farm runs over the weekend and see but I gotta agree with the person who guessed it was an unintended consequence of tweaking the drops for free/preem/VIP.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Sometimes it's not even in the mission. I've checked my auto powers and can't see anything else there that might be giving extra drops. Three of the pics below were bosses, but one was a minion. Two gave tip drops in addition, but the other two didn't.
