Maj al-Ragath's chest: same 3 sets over and over

Not sure what's up but every single night since 1T came out I've only gotten 3 sets from Maj's chest: Malubeth, Maw of the Infernal and Bloodspawn. No variation. Not even a new trash shoulder. Haven't really bothered with Glirion's as I got the shoulders I needed from that chest when I turned all my keys in on patch day. A couple of guildmates told me they had the same issue. Anyone else?

Edit: 4 keys per night since 1T comes out to 92 keys, btw.

Edit 2: After the events of my most recent reply, I'm going on a hunt to see if Maj al-Ragath's mother is a killable NPC.

    Had the same issue for about a week with the same 2-3 shoulders dropping every time. Followed by 2 weeks when the game decided to drop multiple set-ups of every single piece except for the one I was looking for.
    I was about to set my keyboard ablaze when it finally dropped a little while ago (crap trait, but still).

    I thought I was unlucky but you and your guildmates must have been exceedingly naughty towards RNGsus (peace be with him) for this kind of bad luck ;)

    Just seems a bit weird that not only is it the same three sets every time but that we're all getting the same 3.

    I keep getting all of the OP Stamina Proc sets from Gilirion's Chest!

    I've used 6 keys every day since One Tamriel dropped (excluding three days worth or so) and have tons of Prosperous/Training shoulders in all armor weights for every Stamina based monster set.

    In terms of Tremorscale, Sellistrix, Selene, Kra'gh.... I have them all in Divines/Impen for both Medium and Heavy Armor.

    For Magicka..... well I got a Divines light Grothdarr shoulder :) all I need is an Ilambris one.

    I play Mag Sorc :/

    Lends credence to the whole "different characters have different RNG" I've seen people talk about. Maybe I should just try Glirion's chest then. :D Maj's is garbage at this rate.

    No, if his numbers are correct (92 keys for the same 3 shoulders) that's so unlikely with correct rng (in the range of 10^(-50)), that you can assume that the rng is somehow bugged.

    For s**ts I used one of tonight's keys on Maj's. Got another Blood Spawn...went over to Glirion's for the 2nd key and immediately got a medium divines Sellistrix. :D Third key (Glirion's) heavy Tremorscale. Went back over to Maj's and got ANOTHER Blood Spawn. Looks like I won't be using her chest anymore. RIP ever getting Ilambris or Kra'gh shoulders.

    OMG, just realized that the sets drop in specific chests... Left/Center/Right.... does not matter WHO gave you the key, it matters who's chest you open..

    Yep! Still amazes me that out of 12 sets in Maj's chest I've only gotten those same three sets out of 100 keys.

    Probably tracks hours /played on my characters to see if I stick with Magicka-attributed builds or Stamina-attributed builds most.... then gives me the opposite of what'd I want :lol:

    I actually had a problem with monster heads. For 3 days straight I got most heads in impenetrable. Saturday all 3 monster heads were impenetrable. Probably the game is hinting that I've kinda neglected PvP lately. First sergeant 2nd grade Asardes hasn't spilled any banana or smurf blood for over a month, because there weren't any in sight on Ebony Blade - all alliances with 1 line population :D

    I didn't bother with ICP yesterday because nobody wanted to do it, so I used my 4 keys on the middle chest. I received 4 chudan shoulders in a row. 2 prosperous, 1 training, 1 impen. What a complete waste of time.

    Ran VICP 4 times yesterday - one time for pledge ~20 minutes, and another 3 as farm runs. I have the head and shoulders in multiple versions. I just need the Scathing Mage necklace and/or weapons. Actually one of my favorite dungeons, along with VRoM. For that one it's way harder to find groups though.
