This game is NOT RNG.

Alright time to do some math for the people who keep telling me this game is RNG only. RNG always consists of uniform distribution, that means the chances to get an item is ALWAYS equal. For example: I have a cup filled with a red, green, blue and yellow ball in it. The chances I will grab a green ball is always the same as a yellow ball. Now, this theory does not apply to Destiny because: In all my raid gear loot so far I got: 7x Helmet 0x Gloves 5x Armor 11x Legs The chance that I will get a raid gear piece 23x and none of them are gloves is: 0,75 ^ 23 • 100 = 0,13% I'm not the only one who keeps getting the same gear, lots of people do. So what kind of lootdropsystem is it then? You tell me. All I can think of is some lootingsystem which is character or account based, where some people get loads of the same item, others get other items in big numbers. EDIT: The REASON I made this post is because I see LOADS of people have the same problem as I have. I just wanted to hear the community's opinion about it, but thats too hard for some peeps.

  • you miss a basic thing... the equal chance to get a R G B Y ball are the same only for one pick. the next pick is NOT affected from the result fo the previous pick. this is the usual error that a roulette player does. a RED number could even exit 17 time in a row without a single BLACK number, but the chance to get a BLACK or RED number are the same. That's the point that anyone misunderstood.
