Elunarium causing low drop rate on Override boxes?

Seems the Elunarium Energy might be causing the Override boxes to not drop as frequently. I went from getting a box every other kill to one box every 2-3 minutes. Imagine a new player trying to farm for a ring, not being able to 1hko the monsters, that could take hours to get 60 boxes, and have to repeat that 14 times. I guess I got spoiled with how they were before the patch. I need two more rings, but now I am forced to endure Elunarium Energy drops, though I did not chose to participate in the event as the rewards are clearly not worth the time, and energy, unlike the Override shop, where it was(maybe still is), worth the time, and energy.

NexonGMS why do you give us crappy events geared towards new player, when your maintenance mishaps, downtime, incompetence, and bugs seem to drive away 95% of new players?

    I don't think it has to do with the eluna event, I think they just nerfed the override box drop rate.

    I've noticed changes with boxes.

    Override Boxes
    Dipq stage 1 and 2 don't drop them anymore.
    Arcane river monsters in chu chu aren't dropping them for me anymore. (level 111/112 kinesis I'm within one/two levels of the monsters)

    Monster Collection Event
    I have also noticed that the monster collection event punk monsters aren't spawning anymore for me too.

    Ursus
    Ursus party que system isn't working but the party que option does.
    Some skills for kinesis class aren't working in ursus.
    Pychic Assult/Psychic Force is grayed out when entering the map even though it is chosen.

    Pretty sure there is a lot more the update broke that we don't know about yet    .

    I am more frustrated that I cant seem to get more than one of the star shaped elunium ore. it seems we have to wait till the 26th to be able to get those easily. so you cant upgrade your benefit in the ui.
