A very large and extensive rework has gone into how creature loot (Greens especially) are deliverred in the open world from mobs. There has been many changes that have been done: First, there was an issue where a small handful of creatures had WAY TOO HIGH of a drop chance (similar to values set on rare creatures). Secondly, creatures who dropped immersive gear was dropping the same gear at the same rates as creatures without it were. This has been adjusted so that their "generic" templates are now lower than creatures who don't have it. Lastly, there was a miscategorization amongst some creatures causing them to have an additional loot template that resulted in just more gear than what should have been acquirable.
