Do Kuta still come from hirelings?

I used to get Kuta pretty often from hirelings but I have not got one in over a month. Do I just have really bad luck or do they not show up anymore? I have three enchanting hirelings and I have noticed they bring back far less aspect runes in general but no Kuta at all.

    My hireling certainly hasn't found any. Like you, I haven't gotten one in a month or more.

    I was lucky and got one from mine about every day for a week. XD That was a month or so ago though. I'm still getting them off/on. I know I got one yesterday though.

    Haven't seen one in weeks from my maxed enchanting hireling. On the other hand, my clothing/blacksmith/woodworking hirelings bring at least one yellow a week.

    Seems that this is bugged.

    ...and I'll never pay for kuta. You just never know what you'll get these days. It's not worth the risk.

    This is still total Random Number Generation God.

    I got probably 3 Kuta over the week on my 3/3 Hireling and also got 2 Ta and a Denata.

    But the Kuta are still coming at least every few days for me at least.

    I wish I got kuta from fishing! I did get a wet sack with a trait stone once.

    Seems like it's been about a week since I got kuta from a hireling. Maybe tonight I'll get lucky.

    Wait... Maybe the mail carriers are getting sloshed and dropping components in the water instead of delivering them.

    I guess I am just having a very long streak of very bad luck. I used to get at least one a week minimum I can't even remember the last one I got. It used to be rare to not at least get an aspect rune of some sort on my level 45 enchanter with maxed hirelings but lately it is more rare to even get any aspect rune.

    No, it's not bugged. It's a random number generator. Sometimes the RNG gods look favorably on you, and sometimes they don't. When you have a streak of bad luck it doesn't mean that it's bugged.

    Yeah yeah RNG blah blah blah. 0/60 Kutas in enchanting mails, compared to 10-15/60 for every other craft does imply that it is bugged. Along with the fact that hireling mails have bugged in the past, AND that other people are noticing this, certainly makes a strong case that some people are in fact experiencing a bug with enchanter hireling mails.

    Remember the bank bug that was affecting a small portion of people? Just because you are not personally experiencing the bug, does not mean that it isn't bugged.

    The bank bug had nothing to do with RNG. Your anecdote, and those of some other people, doesn't imply anything about it being bugged. It implies you've had bad luck. Others have reported having abnormally good luck with Kuta. That doesn't imply that it's bugged either. That implies they've had good luck. Is it possible that it's bugged? Sure. Without seeing server-wide stats, however, there's absolutely no evidence of that. That's the nature of RNG - unless you see the whole picture there's no way of saying that it's bugged.

    The same exact way without the whole picture you have no way of knowing it isn't bugged. That is the problem with RNG it is hard to know if something is a very long stretch of really bad luck over and over or if there is a bug that only affects certain people.

    Okay, you are starting to understand. The Kuta bug has nothing to do with RNG either...

    You don't need to see server wide stats. In fact, server wide stats will tell you absolutely nothing. The fact that some people have good luck with Kuta tells you absolutely nothing (RNG as you said).

    The fact that multiple people have gone months without getting a Kuta is the only relevant information in this thread. Since you clearly have difficulty grasping the issue, and have nothing to contribute to this thread, please stop polluting this thread with your pointless posts.

    Really. Show me evidence that proves that you're not just having a string of bad luck with RNG. Until you can do that (and you can't do that without server-wide stats that show what everyone is getting from their hirelings), you have absolutely no way of saying that it's bugged. That's the nature of any mechanic that relies on RNG. Just because you don't understand that doesn't mean that it's bugged.

    I get them once in a while, it's rare, but I have about 20 now and by the time I unlock yellow I hope to have a decent pile of em'. When I unlocked purple I had nearly 20 Rekutas and that was nice.

    I feel like we are playing ping pong here. Ok show me evidence that the string of back luck is only the result of RNG. Until you can do that you have absolutely no way of saying it's not bugged.

    Where is your proof there is no issue just because RNG is involved? RNG was involved when I got them almost daily for months, never went more than a few days, and that was when I only had one enchanting hireling now I have 3. So out of nowhere with three times the chance the RNG gods are just mad at me for months I guess. Many people in game have said they have not got them for over a month .. in fact the same exact month and I never heard anyone complain about this issue before that. Maybe it is just RNG affecting one component and a lot of people are having the same exact bad RNG luck all at the same time or maybe something has changed, and maybe it is only affecting certain people.

    Where is your "proof" you keep asking for that nothing has changed?
