Then you're competing against 4-6 other rogues in your 40-man raid for that single item. There was no tier token system. No emblem system. Even for your dungeon 1 set you spent weeks or months farming (I finally got my shadowcraft chest on my 51st ubrs run.)

Not really sure what to say to your "I fully understand statistics" statement, as following it with "to only drop the same plate item 80% of the time is not random" completely contradicts it. If the same plate item NEVER dropped 10 times in a row, THAT would be proof that the system isn't random.

"again, I say look at any lotto game in the country and show me where the same number, any number, showed up 8 weeks in a row."
How many numbers are there in the lottery? More than 13 I would imagine. Find me a lottery that only has 13 numbers and I'll give you a list of the hundreds of times the same number was chosen 8 weeks in a row.
