1% drop rates... a thought expriment.

[Tiggy]

Why are there so many people running with the 1% drop rate thrown out by the OP? There are other people who have gotten it much quicker. Should they come on here and claim the drop rate is 15% (or whatever random % they come up with) due to their experience? =.=.

RNG is fickle, and it hates a great number of people. Seems OP is one of them.

After a large enough sample size is obtained you can remove outliers, find the average drop rate, and remove personal biases like that. I've personally seen 2 drop within three runs, but statistically the drop rate is still 1%. He isn't talking about RNG. He is talking about statistics here.

Perhaps I am being dense, but one person saying they've run something X amount of times and they've only seen something drop once is not enough proof in my eyes to claim a 1% drop rate for something in game. If SE were to publish a report showing how many times a particular instance has been done, along with the number of exclusive item dropped, and it still equaled 1%, cool.
