    First off... I totally understand your frustration. It sucks being at the mercy of RNG. That being said, it has been pretty much established that the drop rate is around 20%. You being a terrible statistical outlier just makes it worse in your scenario. Hopefully, things will even out a bit if another god-awful RNG based line to the quest is added later down the road. And, of course, it will.

    I haven't read anything about it being 20%. I have read it was 11% at best and even than that was just a guess by a group of people using their own drops as evidence. If it were 20% people wouldn't have to run a single dungeon 30 times to get it to drop and many people I have talked too said they had to do just that.

    I'm at 14/16 done after around 100 total dungeons. The first 10 went by quick, the next 4 took at least 10 runs each, Bray HM was 25+. I'm just glad DD and AV only took a combined 5 runs.

    If it were 20%, you would have about a about a 1/50 chance of having at least one of your sixteen dungeons taking more than 30 runs. At 11%, you would have almost 2/5 of people having at least 1 dungeon taking over 30 runs.
