Arcane Loops of Anger in FoS

[Catamer]

that goes with my argument that Blizzard weights the drops against the team made. same team gets roughly the same drops. multiboxers are the only people that can see this weighting process because we are the only people that put up exactly the same team every time. I tried to gear out a priest starting at level 75 and didn't get hardly anything for all of my ToC runs from 75->80. I've been told I'm just lucky to get the same plate items dropped several runs in a row.... right.

That really doesn't make any sense. Why on earth would Blizzard go out of their way to make drops non-random? Look at it this way - a boss has a loot table, which consists of a number of item-id's and a droprate. What would be easier and more logical and more fair:

a) Generate a random number to determine what drops or
b) Somehow hash the character id's of the characters killing the boss and running a function against the loot-table in order to make it not random

I wasn't really hinting at some unknown conspiracy, more in the line of if someone had knowledge of them changing droprates or a known bug (I know on wowhead, the arcane loops was listed as alliance-only for a while - this error is still on RAWR).

While 0.8 pct is not a lot, consider how often we get drops that have less droprate than that. Most likely it's more probable that the arcane loops don't drop 40 times in a row, than getting 1 hilt in 40 runs - and I've had my share of luck with the hilts. It's just random bad luck I guess, unless there's a bug I don't know of...
