    14 hrs spent farming gold boxes for guku KI.. yet no ki

    pearl:230
    azure:255
    amber:255
    ruby:8

    Of the 39 sobek skins I have so far. Every time I pop it was with a guku KI i got from a gold box.

    I had to work for 7 days.. come back last night to 8hrs farming and 1 KI.

    Now today its 14 hrs with NO guku KI. Have seen every other KI 10x+.. But no not the one damn KI I need.

    Typically i get a guku KI every 20min-2hrs.. seems reasonable.. but 14 hrs is a slap in the face.

    [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XI FORUM Guidelines.] So I'm stuck farming gold boxes that refuse to drop.

    I even exit and reenter and build lights and time all over again and still the same broken crap.

    I liked your post simply because of your forum name.

    Aside from that, I got 6 Peiste Skins last night, in about 2 hours soloing as PLD. If what you're saying is true, it's just bad luck. Happens.

    It sucks when it happens, but it does. It's happened before. I once timed out with 30min, capped azure, killing like a maniac and couldn't get a time chest for the life of me. Believe me, I'm the first to say that SE sucks at programming, but this doesn't really fall into that category.

    Greetings sesucks!

    Thank you for taking the time to report this concern for us! Sadly, it is entirely possible that this is just a horrible run of bad luck. 'Drops' such as this are not guaranteed and often come in the feast or famine varieties. However, I want to make sure that this is not a gameplay concern so I would be more then happy to submit this to be reviewed for you, however, I would like to ask that you please give us some additional information on this matter. Please fill out as much as you're able from the following template for us. Upon receipt, we will submit this for review for you! Although it may seem as though this template is not necessary as it requests information related to your character specifically, however, the information you give might help find the exact cause as to why an issue may be happening.

    Thank you for your time and apologies for any inconvenience!

    Bad programming?

    Do you understand any basic tenets of probability and statistics?

    Go look up Gambler's Fallacy, herpderp.

    eh.. random on a PC is not true random in the sense of picking up and rolling a die. Unless they are using statistics for naturally occuring events (like sunspot activity or something) for the seed for their algoryhtm, it is following a predertimed key, so actually has some sort of pattern to it. Granted, it may be a loooong sequence that could take years until it repeats, but it is likely based on a certain pattern.

    So you are likely just another victom of the random number generation. Sometimes you have a good run because of where you are in the sequence...other times you never get the drop. Not the first time we've seen this happen, and surely won't be the last.
