Coincidence. 100%. Sometimes RNG will seem to follow a pattern. It doesn't. It's just your mind playing games with you.

  • The human condition is to see some kind of pattern, so your mind forces one, and from that point on it is simply confirmation bias, when u only see what confirms your theory and ignore all outliers

  • Like the example I gave to another guy, you buy a car and then start seeing the same car everywhere when you didn't before.

    I decided to try a green cydonia in the crucible for old times sake. It was the 1st time in a while I had one drop for me. In the last 2 nights of playing, I've had 6 more drop for me since. I feel that that wasn't 100% random.

  • You realize green means uncommon, right? I can get 10 green engrams in as many minutes. High drop rates =/= pattern. It just means that you are rolling more.

  • I am fully aware of how the colour system works. What I'm saying is that I haven't seen a cydonia for quite some time. After I equiped it, I started seeing a ton of cydonias.

  • I'm sure you saw an equal amount of them, you just weren't looking for it. It's like when you buy a new car and then start seeing them all over the road when you didn't see them before. By your logic, having an item equipped like the other 6 that you can equip would result in finding many more of that item, but that doesn't happen. RNG is 100% random. There is no pattern to it other than the one that your mind is making up.
