I understand probability quite well. Did statistics in University. When I frequently see sequences that have less than a 1 in 100,000 chance occurring, every 500 chances or so, and others complain of the same thing, we're either all incredibly unlucky, or the system is prone to excessively long sequences of extreme values.

Frankly though, I'd be happier if they just did away with the RNG entirely, and introduced some form of Fatigue factor, that increases with every action, and once full, the next action is going to fail. Various abilities increase fatigue more, while various traits decrease the rate of fatigue growth.


Do the same thing as well, but for HQ gatherings. When you gather, your HQ meter fills, and then once full, you get an HQ hit, and it resets with any full surplus carried over.

Such a system would remove the immense frustration that many feel with an RNG. I hate RNG's in MMO's period (excluding combat). If I'm a skilled artisan or botanist, it's only a matter of time, not chance, that I'll HQ something.
