VR WGT drop rate is ridiculous

Two months, I beat VR WGT once at least per night. No kena helm, and all my friends got multiple copies, how the hell is this possible? I just need to vent somewhere. Dear ZOS, can you perhaps look into my account and give me one?

    On PTS the first day it was selling the shoulders from prison, so I'd assume it's every undaunted helm/shoulder in the loot table. Good luck waiting for the RNG of what pieces actually show up though...

    Bad luck, but absolutely possible with RNG. Let's say the chance of a helm drop is 5%. That means 95% chance of no helm on every run. 60 runs = 0.95^60 = 0.046. So, a little less than 5% chance of getting nothing after 60 attempts. That is small, but not insignificant. About 1 in 21. Good odds? No. But it is not some 1,000,000 to 1 chance that you would run a dungeon 60 times and get no helm.

    You'll be able to buy Undaunted gear with gold or AP starting in March, although what gear will be on offer and what traits they have will vary. You won't be able to just walk into Cyrodiil and buy a Divines Kena helmet immediately. But the trader should slowly but surely cycle through everything and you'll be able to buy your Kena helm at some point.

    300 daily keys and only one kena shoulder, 100+ maelstrom runs and no inferno staff. The game just loves to mess with people and give them everything except that one thing they're looking for.

    I've always been lucky, I get helmets the first 2-3 runs as maximum, with one exception... Bogdan. I have very few helmets from there, and they're all with a bad trait ....funny because I usually join as a healer, and it's the only healer-monster set xD

    ..but joking aside, I had a guildie that farmed White Gold Tower maybe 250 runs or more, and he never got a helmet >.< RNG is just wrong.

    Welcome to ESO. If this is the only thing you have to complain about you're doing good. Seriously though, it only gets worse in my experience.

    Sometimes, I feel tired playing ESO. With all the efforts I put in, *** luck with RNG, further imbalance incoming in TG, lack of communication between random players.
