Something fishy with trust loot and it's not Dohn Mheg.

So after leveling my trusts I'm throwing a flag down, raising a red card, lifting a blue flag!

I get RNG is RNG luck and all that, but there is something foul going on. How come I can go through any dungeon with trusts and a MCH and never see any gear for aiming but plenty for fending then go through with a tank never see any gear for fending and tons for aiming.

This seems to be doubly so involving weapons go through Qitana Ravel with my alt bard trying to get the bow for glam. nothing.. ever.. go through with my tank main got the bow 3 separate times in three runs once I got it twice from the last two chests.

I don't mind RNG it's part of playing these games. But I can't help but feel there is something hinky happening here. How about you guys?

Chance has no memory. There's nothing weird happening there, just coincidental.

I think it's probably just bad RNG. I've seen both regular drops of the appropriate role (when pushing alts through Holminster and Dohn Mheg), and almost always a different role (Qitana, so far).

It's all just a RNG thing. Me personally I main SCH and every trust run I've done I see about two or three healer pieces a run.

My mind tells me it's RNG that and trusts give you less drops so less drops mean less chances but damn if it isn't annoying! I have even tried sacrificing miqo'te virgins!

I think it's a conspiracy. The same thing has happened to me multiple times. My thoughts so far:

1. Whatever player wants, don't drop it
2. Whatever player doesn't want, make it rain
3. ???
4. Profit!

I haven't worked out all of the details yet.... but I feel like I'm close....

Also, I'm not poking fun at you, I notice the same thing, it's weird. >.>

This is a blatent lie... we all know there's no such thing as a miqo'te virgin.. how dare you...

Unless you're referring to the children miqo'te... in which case... well we all know miqo'kitten is different than miqo'te

I sometimes think about stuff like that.
Companies already implement algorithms to see which user needs what amounts of fails until they become prone to "boost" themselves with microtransactions, and how much they are willing to spend for it, basically granting them the ability to tinker with game mechanisms to frustrate you, and then offer you a microtransaction to ease the pain, for a price they know you're willing to pay at that point.

So theoretically it would be posible to datamine which player has a high tolerance to frustration and can be kept subbes longer by withholding drops from them and making them run the instance 100 times, and which players give up/unsub easier, so it'd be better to reward them fster to keep them engaged and subbed longer. It's very unlikely that this is happening here, and it's just bad rng, but these possibilities do exists, and they will make their way into gaming sooner or later, which is kinda scary.

RNG gonna RGN.

I had similar luck. I went through the first dungeon and got a full set of Fending at 71, I was so happy, but the next three dungeons the only Fending I got was from the end bonus. It's just luck.

I'm very glad for the guaranteed bonus loot though, it's a welcome counter to these bad luck streaks.

Dohn Mheg did not drop any aiming gear for me too, and I farmed it quite abit. Mostly got casting and fending with other gear being rare drops.
