Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

I haven't tried it in a while, but it definitely worked for a long time unless they ninja'd it more recently. I doubt they'd have any real reason to, but who knows.

I may try and dig up the original BG findings thread, but that was years ago and probably lost in one of the server moves.

I honestly would not be shocked if Voidwatch uses an algorithm based off of a character's name when determining pyxis contents, given the "on or off" drop rates that are reported. I'd be even less shocked if it was designed that way because a programmer's cat died the day previous and he wanted to do something truly malevolent to a vast number of people.
