Default Re:

"- hmm another myth here, say you are killing phingel for mage's water mastery staff, which is rare as hell, what's your chance of getting it? personally I've killed him 17 times to get my staff, but i've heard stories about people got the staff in one kill and people who had killed him 50 times without luck, one word, verant's random generator sucks, big time."


The random generator works fine, the person who thinks otherwise is just not happy with the results. It's like going to play a roulette wheel in vegas and saying their wheel sux cause you lost 15 times in a row.

If there was a constant distribution of chances of winning across the board, i.e. 1 in every 10 kills was guaranteed to be a drop, it wouldnt be very random now would it?
