Before patch 3.1.1 I used to see a lot of them... now the drop rate seems to be very low. Any feedback?

Ulduar came out. More people need flasks. More people are now weed picking. There are less weeds. Therefore, there are less frost lotus drops.
Q.E.D.

Maybe it's just we're paranoid. I've been waiting for some party members and started herbing for a couple of minutes and got 2 FL from 5 nodes. RNG is RNG... At least demand is MUCH higher than before so we can sell them for good gold on ah.
### (1) EDIT ###
While writing here I herbed 3 more bushes and got 2 more lotus...

Just sold a pack of 20x on AH for 900G. Demand is HUGE indeed.

I have found less and less Frost Lotus' from Lichbloom/Icethorn. This prompted me to spend a few hours every night running around Wintergrasp to pick up the Frost Lotus nodes. Its slow and tedious, but I get about 5 a night...

I've heard this but cannot confirm it. Demand for them seems to have skyrocketed. They now sell for almost 30g on my server. Craziness! they go for 40-50 g on my server. :>

I know 1st hand that alchemist are using more herbs, Frost lotus
is in very high demand, but Wintergrasp is not the best area to fine them. I still find them while flying around other zones much
better drop rate than Wintergrasp.. Sorry my little secret for Now.

The reason you are not seeing the Frost Lotus nodes in Wintergrasp is because they share a spawn with the Frozen Herbs. Pick up all the herbs you see while doing laps and you will eventually see a few Frost Lotus nodes.

Drop rate is the same almost everywhere in Northerend. I've been (again) looking for the Time-Lost Protodrake (Storm Peaks area) and in less than 10 minutes I got 3 Frost Lotus drops. Sometimes I stay there 1 hour and get none at all.
Random is random
, no place is better than any other. I could say that 0 drops in 60 minutes is bad while 3 in 70 (60 mins 1st day, 10 mins 2nd day) is much better, right? It all depends on luck.

It just depends on what you need in a specific situation. I've been offered 12G/stack for Runecloth and sold 20 stacks...

1) Do not necrothread
2) No the droprate didnt get nerfed. Unless you had a 10000 sample and get a new 10000 sample to compare, you wont be able to tell if there was a change or not.
