It's 1.69 now btw 
And no, I haven't seen it up once. Notified E&E about it, who would talk to the CSR's, but that's all the info I got. ( Except that the CSR had said something along the lines with "it should've spawned several times during that time period" and would investigate it further ).
Any updates on it's current status? Lots of people suspect it's bugged at the moment. ( One guy I discussed this matter with had been camping it almost non-stop for 3 days and no spawn. He was either very unlucky with the "almost" part, or the spawn is bugged in some way ).
It seems unlikely that one that camps it for three days straight would miss the encounter every time it spawns, if it truly isn't bugged. ( number of spawns during that time should with high probability be around 8 - 24 times )

Ive now heard of 3 ppl who have got it since 1.69 release, maybe its this daft "10% chance to spawn every hour" code thats holding it back.

3 ppl in 3 weeks is a tad low to suggest that the probability to spawn every hour hasn't been altered in any way.old.Whoodoo said:
It would help with a quick search to see how many times it has spawned and been picked up since 1.69 arrival ( 29th of July ), and draw conclusions after that. Their customers are suspecting a (slightly) bugged encounter.

Not seen it (been loooking for 2 weeks on and off)
The Mariasha's Sharkskin Gloves are a very popular artifact;
it is true that they were up almost all the time in 1.68, but think of all the hunters that have been made recently. Likely they are around the level now where you can get the Gloves and folks have been checking for them by the hour. It's nigh impossible to know everyone in the realm, so that Whoodoo knows of three people who got them probably means three or four times that many actually have.
I know a little of what camping the Gloves is like; it is true I got them myself when they were up by chance and didn't have to go there twice, but I kept a friend company camping there by leveling my own gloves on the yellow sharks. It took him about a week to get them, and that was before the 'new wave' of hunters that's being trained in preparation of NF.
It might be slightly bugged, or it might be this. 10% chance of spawning means it will as easily take two days as two hours to spawn, and you never know when someone has taken it because the encounter takes only ~30 secs.

As Shaniah says, its a very popular arti (got mine when you could still stealth it ), and takes only 30 seconds to do. I probably know 5 hunters who have their chars parked there and log in every hour or so, so its highly likely one logged in 5 minutes before the rest, did the deed and restarted the pop time.
), and takes only 30 seconds to do. I probably know 5 hunters who have their chars parked there and log in every hour or so, so its highly likely one logged in 5 minutes before the rest, did the deed and restarted the pop time.It has spawned and does spawn properly according to it's timer and spawn chance. As it happens it is a slow timer and a rare spawn so it can take a long time (even several days isn't unusual) for it to be up again.
As it's only really useful to archers, it wasn't all that popular in previous versions hence anyone who wanted it would probably find it up unless they were unlucky. For some reason everyone seems to be rolling archers these days....
