A rant on the high allagan weapons drop system

[Noll]

They thought this random gear drops was good basing the decision on how WOW works, but they forgot that WOW has half the classes that we have

Lol wut. Have you seen how many classes WoW has?

Another fine example of how people do not get statistics. People are complaining about imbalances in very small sample sizes. Each completion of T9 has a ~11% chance of dropping each specific weapon. You need a far larger sample size than the ~15 clears you have or the 112 clears listed in this thread to prove that the RNG is skewed.

I must have missed where someone said that the RNG is skewed. Most of us are just annoyed with a loot system itself. Even if my group got a different weapon every week (not 6x summoner books), I'd still support a token system because it guarantees someone will always be able to use the loot that drops.

OP was asking why they were missing 4 of the high allagan weapons after 14 clears.

And then after 8 clears you would be mostly done with T9 and Coil. Coil is intended to be the primary hardcore endgame content for a period of roughly 24 weeks. 8 weeks after you began clearing T7, pretty much everyone had a UAT and therefor a weathered Soldiery weapon, right? With UAT and Sands of Time you have your i110 Token weapons, but people in this thread are complaining about the fact that they are not getting the exact i115 prestige weapons they want and that they got multiples of stuff they only wanted one of.

You seem very good with statistics so, what's the chance of having 5 times the same weapon in 14 fights?
And what's the chance of not finding 4 of the 9 weapons after 14 tries?

Nobody talked about RNG, this is going to happen with this system. You have people left without their weapon for the entirety of the patch, and now that 2.4 is close the weapon will probably be even obsolete.
