Comparing results is good, but since the drop rates seem to come and go in waves, it’s going to either look like people have incredibly good or incredibly bad loot if we’re only looking at 20 minute increments.
Finally I recalled the stopgap solution of a great princess who was told that the
peasants had no bread and who responded: “Let them eat brioche.”
I’ve never had an exotic from an end chest in ANY event, dungeon or world boss and I’ve been playing since BWE3. Yet I have a friendly who gets annoyed if he doesn’t get at least 2 rares from a world boss (he usually does); and I’ve seen him get 2 exotics once
Something is definitely screwy with how loot is calculated.

I did skelks for a full hour this time, with a total of 383 MF, and this is what I ended up with.
This is the first time I’ve done skelks since the living story started, so I’ll have to do another hour sometime again in the future. I fear they would be poor if I returned too soon, and I may have just gotten lucky on this. I’ve got it recorded as well, but haven’t uploaded it or anything.

You have to realize that if you roll a die 100 times you will get an average of three. sometimes you hit a bunch of ones, other times you get a bunch of sixes. As for the people that ping all of those exotics or 3 rares from an event or whatever already had that stuff in their inventory and are out to just make people jealous. Everyone rolls from the same loot tables. What really bothers me Tigirius.9014 is that even in threads that have nothing to do with loot drops your comments are " yeah x really sucks but when you add in the fact that some people get all the loot it makes it worse. My suggestion would be to change zones often and don’t try to farm for specific drops because it just doesn’t work. There is no reason for Anet to try to screw with a small number of players – that is just silly.

It’s the law of averages. Study basic statistics and you will see that some players will get far more some will get far less. I’ve logged about 1200 hours and gotten about 6 exotic drops. I’m not mad about it at all because it’s all about rng. Some days are better for me on good drops, other days I get garbage. It’s about averages.

This keeps coming up in another thread of mine so I thought I might move it here.
Are there still people out there that experience the lopsided loot issues? The kind I’m talking about are where you’re in a group of friends doing an event and that one guy that gets everything every week walks away with 4 times as much loot as anyone else?
How about, where you’re in a group doing an event and not only do you get all greys 100% of the time it stops after about the 8th kill because DR still kicks in for mobs that appear only for events.
Or how about this one. You try to farm materials (T5 because you can’t ever get a T6 to drop even when mars is in retro) and you kill 6 mobs only to start getting bones? (and it’s no exaggeration when I say 6 mobs total)?
Keep in mind this is with or without magic find with the same results for both.
Because I’m quite sure it’s not just me, it’s not my imagination, and I had tons more coming in the first month of the game launching prior to the new dungeon focus in Nov.
I’ve tried those boxes with and without magic find, and all I get are more karma bottles. Anyone else get those all the time from the RNG laurel/karma boxes they put into the game? Talk about frustrating!
I’d like to hear from the people who are affected by this, please no derailing or flaming
Not only this, also the skill/server lag is still very omnipresent during events along with the low FPS that was supposedly tweaked with the last update.
