Molag Kena shoulders drop rate? Or am I unlucky?

Opened over 60 gold keys which I know to most will be child's play but still, I've never received the molag kena shoulders.

Opened 10 gold keys today and got 3 monster pieces: 1 well fitted heavy engine guardian and 2x divines light mephalas (butchered spelling I know) ... Is it just RNG or are molag kena shoulders harder to get?

Note: I'm saving keys for DB release from now on.

    It's just RNG, you can get the desired piece of gear with your next key or never get it at all.

    I never get anything from Gold chests except Undaunted VR14 sets BUT I have gotten 3 Kena shoulders in the last week from Silver chests, 2 light and 1 medium.

    I've been getting tons more monster sets from Silver then Gold.

    Don't feel bad though, they're well-fitted.

    I have opened more than 60 gold chests and 35 silver and I am still looking for Valkin Skoria shoulders. Have multiples of everything else but no Skoria....and I have 3 helmets. RNG is a fickle ***

    I got over 10 Kenas and no Skoria. I feel you. RNG is stupid and should be replaced by a token system asap. Cyrodiil vendor is a step in the right direction, they should just replace the gold cost with some Undaunted currency you earn for running dungeons. Like Orc Ears! Yes! Collect 10,000 Orc Ears!

    Yea guess it's just RNG.

    And yes I am saving some keys (have over 15 gold saved) but I just felt like splurging is that not allowed? Am I not allowed to hope?

    RNG is RNG, but the chance does seem "weighted" towards certain sets for certain people.

    I have personally gotten 1 light reinfoced Kena shoulders, but TONS of Maw/Skoria shoulders.

    I've only ever gotten 1 and I've gone through an awful lot of keys. I actually gave up on the idea of ever getting 1 but then I managed it.

    A heavy with divines. Used all my RNG on it though.
