    5 months running nothing but long letters, "luck" still keeps deciding on 50 gems.

    Started when follow on drop rates dropped...
    Never thought that BB understood random and probability distribution...
    Can't forget the arguments made.. if you play long enough... the averages will be true.. or something like that

    But in cases where you get a given reward only once.. and there is no consolation that some day you'd get 5 manuscript recipes in a row..
    This is harsh.. and might even call it wrong and stupid.

    @BB - You could argue this for Follow On adventure drop rates... and other rewards like rare buildings..
    But how do you argue for this? Please explain... I am again curious

    Based on previous (and ongoing) rates, there is very little doubt in my mind, it has to do with the seed applied to the RND() function/procedure... the same people have the awesome luck and the other people seem to have the same crummy luck, while others have crummy and/or blessed luck in certain areas. The 'luck' is certainly not very distributed. it is very likely the seed is pulled from an individuals player account number or other account information, and not a time() or other less static representative.
    “Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.”

    I can also "confirm" it's not related to misbehaviour (supposedly at least /rolleyes) and chat bans haha

    It's beyond brutal with cases like Eriond, that stopped being funny way too long ago.

    I too am irriated by this system. I've ran it more times than I care to count, and nothing but gems. The gems are nice, but I want the recipe. It's getting very frustrating.
