Undaunted Dailies Monster Shoulders

I'm not one to complain about RNG I usually enjoy the grind and go along with it. But this is just too much. I have gone 14 straight Gold Keys in a ROW without receiving a single Monster Shoulder. Not even a bad roll on one in just not getting them. Hell I have yet to even see a Vet 16 Monster Helmet. I completely understand a uncommon drop, but I don't even see the point of doing these Dailies at the moment.

Has anyone experienced this lack of luck for this RNG system, and could we please address this problem in some way shape or form...

    I've gotten like 5x Valkyn shoulders the past couple of weeks. The only shoulders i get... I'm beginning to think drop rate is bugged

    RNG can be a a real ***** in eso. Took me 50+ vwgt completes to get the molag kena helm. Luckily the first and only time it dropped for me, it was the exact trait and weight I needed. Another bad RNG stretch I had was when first time pledges and gold keys was available. Think it took me a month to get a boss shoulder that I could actually use. That months worth of bad luck I was doing pledges every day with each maxed toon I had at that time, which was 4 toons. So that's 4 gold key chances every day for at least a month before I got something. It hasn't always been bad RNG for me though some things I have been really lucky with. Especially getting potent roe from fish (I swear my roe to fish ratio for a while was 1:20) and nirn stones from around craglorn.

    Just yesterday when I did the veteran daily I watched at least 2 of the 4 in my group get monster shoulders, 3rd person logged before he opened the chest. So I know the drop rate on shoulders isn't that low. I just don't understand what's wrong with my account lol... I feel like in the same way that yours is bugged dropping Valkyn mine is bugged dropping nothing haha.

    But guess we'll see today again I guess, time for the 15th in a row...

    There are just some gold keys that aren't even worth the run.

    What do you mean? I thought you could get any monster shoulder from any.

    Can anyone confirm that they have gotten a different shoulder than the 1k hp bonus one for the past couple of weeks? Just for my sanity. I don't want to waste my time

    I personally think they should change this RNG crap to a token method,
    where you earn tokens and when you have set amount of tokens you can go to the chest and WILL get some monster shoulder..

    Ok this *** has to be bugged. When I get a monster shoulder, it's always the SAME monster shoulder (the one with 1k hp bonus) for the past 3 weeks. WTF man

    Monster Helms only come from bosses, and shoulders only come from undaunted chests.

    Please can someone answer if all gold keys are the same? I mean if you get the gold key from spindle you can get any monster shoulder, can't you?

    its completely random.

    it does seem to me that the drop rates for shoulders have lowered since orsinium, but it could just be RNG screwing me over.

    the RNG for helm drops has always screwed me over.
