Game Mechanics: Mage word drops

[dafier]

I am fairly new to P99. 6 monthish of playing....

I have 2 different characters and have been a few places....a lot of different zones and have enjoy the experience very much.

Maybe this is a bug, maybe it's working as intended, but the drop rate all over Norrath of Mage Words for research is is about 1/10th the drop rate of Necro/Enchanter and Wizard words/pages/runes.

If I see a word drop that happens to be a mage research item, I am seriously amazed.

Of course if this is not a 'bug' then I apologize for posting here.

Thanks for your time.
