Getting potential from fusing rate lowered?

It seems that when fusing two clean items (non-potential) together, the chance to get potential has been decreased. Before any patch or server check (haven't been fusing for three days(?)) I managed to easily get 5-6 shoes with hidden potential. I'm current fusing and I'm very lucky to obtain 2-3 shoes with potential. I doubt I'm that unlucky, because so far I did four inventories and the rates are pretty much the same every time...

Any ideas on what happened? I'm fusing Blue Sneaker Shoes (level 31).

I think the rates were higher as sort of an event for professions.

I think the rates were higher as sort of an event for professions.

The only active events I see in that update note are these;

Profession Boom Up Event - 07.11.2011 - 08.09.2011
* 2x chance to earn an item of your harvesting profession rank or higher while harvesting.
* 10x chance to earn an item of your crafting profession rank or higher while crafting.

That should still be going on.

Oop, thought they ended when PvP came.
I think your just unlucky since I fused the maple weapons I got from GT and quite a few turned out potentialed and even one with epic potential.
