Yea I spent so much time at monuments searching for them. Last 2 days, I'm sitting in my chair at base watching TV since there are no high value rare items anymore making monument exploring not boring and I have so much mats from searching for the 13 backpacks I had. Having the backpack that was rare to find made a lot of people spend a lot of time at monuments, I ran into them all the time. Now, I suspect they are much more vacant except for new people who come on. It was a wonderful prize hunt that added value to exploring monuments and I ran into a lot of people.
