Believe in superstitions if you want, but without data, all you have is that- a superstition. Ancedotal evidence is not evidence. You need to keep track. But what you're postulating makes no sense at best- If there were external factors that affected drop rate, they would have to be things you do before defeating a boss, yet you're suggesting that things you do after matter, which makes no sense. The game doesn't know whether you're going to attempt to do the wave 3 boss or not, so there's no way to make a special condition for that in the first place, other than a timer, which would be unprecedented as that's never been done before as far as I'm aware.
Do it at least 100 times under each set of conditions then we'll talk. His question is not decent. It's dubious at best, based on "I've seen this a few times" and "I want to believe it".
