Stintaril Prowler Spawning Changes?

I was wondering, when Odr on the test server was going through and doing the knight trials he had spoke in regards to being unable to find these on the test server, I myself was there testing trials but didn't get a chance to look at Stintaril Prowler's.

Is there any possibility the mechanic of these can change to either have their own lair or spawn randomly by themselves I myself cleared nearly 15 giant Stintaril lairs and 10+ regular Stintaril lairs ontop of finding the random spawns and sitting on them waiting for respawn to see if the prowler showed up and this took several hours 4-5+ and was unable to find one, as well as we also had two rangers and multiple guildies out hunting and none of us even with killing every Stintaril and lair of them were able to find a single Prowler.

I know back in pre cu this became a huge issue to the point where they had to change the way the spawns worked so this could be done, I understand the knight trials are supposed to be difficult which there are hard npc's but spending this much time and not finding any has me wondering if maybe something got broke.

I know we want these trials to be challenging but I was extremely frustrated after spending 6 hours looking and clearing to yield nothing. I had two guild members who also helped me search for the second buff session, neither one of them turned up anything.

I'm not sure if it's true or not that they spawn from the giant lairs, by the time I gave up for the evening I had destroyed 22 giant lairs. I also found 8 BS spawns to 0 prowlers.

Everything is available. Hopefully VERY challenging. If it's too easy it will change very quickly.

I literally grid searched Yavin for an entire buff session with a Ranger's Area Track in an attempt to assist Odr, and was unable to find a single one.

You cannot track them. I remember back on live spending days looking for certain spawns.

Oh and I truly hope our BHs are taking advantage of all the easy targets out there. ,-)

What.. that's like.. half the purpose of the entire profession >.>

I didn't see hide nor hair of any BH's during our search, which I assumed was because chasing down a Jedi who is track staring all around a planet the entire time would be a frustrating experience.

On a side note, it seems my own probe droids are only experts at tracking asteroids and space slugs! I'm going to have a stern talk with my DE supplier about faulty power supplies as well.
