Does anyone else have a routine or “lucky thing” that they do before placing items in the forge or doing anything that requires the RNG to rain blessings (or curses) down upon you? I find that it takes the depression out of clover recipes and exotic combos.
Anyone willing to admit their OCD tendencies and share? I will to to a specific rock on the forge and then turn counterclockwise three times, bow three times to that jerk Zommoros, then salute three times and BLAMO! instant success….or sometimes not…

Yup, I have my lucky spot.
Up against the Pillar in line with the ramp leading to the Auction House.
My lucky routine:
Only use Great swords from top to bottom & left to right, in the order of 1; 3; 4; 2.
And finally:
Only on a Sunday night.
I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown.
I only put stuff in the forge on Friday 13th.

I have the most luck with the forge when i don’t use it at all.

This is not OCD.
OCD relating to the Mystic Forge would be something like always using it an even number of times and having to make sure you have no rares or crystals or whatever you were putting in left in your inventory at the end, which may require an entire sub-routine of what to do if you do have odd items left to make sure you can get rid of them.
Not because you think it will give you better luck but because you cannot stand the thought of doing it any other way. If you tried to leave that left over crystal in your bag you’d be unable to stop thinking about it, even after logging off and going to do something else.
What you’re talking about is superstitions. Things you think improve your luck, or at least make you feel like you have a better chance even if you know it doesn’t make a difference.
I haven’t used the Forge enough to have one there, but I always close my eyes when opening chests because I think I get better drops.

I always sacrifice 4 kittens before using the forge!

RNGesus, Who art in The Mists.
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy sword will be swung.
Thy sword will be swung again.
Thy precursor will be given, on Tyria as it is in the dark crypts of RNG. Give us this day our daily achievements.
And forgive us raging at the forge,
as we forgive those who get a precursor before us.
And lead us not into champ train farming,
For great justice, Amen.
Slightly blasphemous, however HILARIOUS! I love this!

For me it is an OCD thing, I cannot go to the forge without doing these things. It does seem to help, at least in my mind. So I suppose that i am being superstitiously OCD? :p
