Ifrit (Hard) Weapon drop rate is a joke.

Computers are horrible at generating random numbers. The best they can do is produce a string of numbers that only look random to the naked eye. There are, of course systems that purport to produce truly random numbers, but they rely on things like radio-active decay or atmospheric noise; and who here really believe SE has a geiger counter hooked up somewhere to randomize loot drops? The truth is they are likely using the cheapest (computationally) method baked into most programming libraries: the linear congruential generator. This algorithm requires a seed, and it is in this implementation they could have screwed up. The questions should be how often do they instantiate the generator? Once a day? Every instance? And where do they get the seed? Date-Time? Character data? If the generator is started every time a party picks a fight with ifrit, and the seed is poorly chosen, then yes, the loot drops could be perfectly predictable and heavily skewed towards certain items.
