    I personally believe that it isn't truly random.

    They all are, but the odds of you seeing brd, drg, mnk, pld, war, whm, blm, smn, sch is the same as you seeing drg, drg, drg, drg, drg, drg, drg, drg, drg.

    If the odds of any given drop pattern from CT is 1000/1 and there are 5,000 CT runs per week 120 (24x5) people, on average, are going to see that drop pattern.

    Random Number Generator does exactly what its name implies; generates numbers randomly. We are predisposed as humans to see patterns where there are none.
