this is a random ecto return: 01100101011111101011000100000111010100000101001111
this is not a random ecto return: 101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101

But this isn’t true.

Randomness does not care about your previous result. Streaks will occur. It won’t balance out just so it looks “random” and “balanced” to your eyes.

You even agree with me so I’m not really seeing the point.

…Because of your flip flopping opinion, I’m just going to assume that you either don’t know what you said earlier, or misread something, or whatever, and end it here.

Besides, I’m not going to reference sources that no one will ever look up.

Any reason other than your own preconceptions and perception? Because it is true.

Randomness does not care about your previous result. Streaks will occur. It won’t balance out just so it looks “random” and “balanced” to your eyes.

As for the repeated “I salvaged x ectos”, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insensitivity_to_sample_size

When you salvage 1,000 and have a statistically smaller result, that’s when you have a problem. I don’t even look at individual salvages because I trust my large data set.

1 copper buy order.

5% of 10x 5.01.59 gold = 2.5 gold
5% of 10x 1.00.59 gold = 0.5 gold

Total listing fee = 3 gold, 10 times less than 30 gold.

Even if it was 40 boxes at 5 gold, 5% of 40x 5 gold = 10 gold.

You lost nowhere near 30 gold.

Somebody tried to prove something.
Nothing happened.
Time wasted cancelling buy orders.
