We were able to take a look at this, and it does appear that there was an issue that was preventing some of you from receiving kuta from your hireling.

@nerevarine1138 just for you bro
that was just posted like 3 posts up. Why would you need to repost it..
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.
This comment is spot on! This is what this thread is all about.What we were arguing was there was enough of a trend to warrant it being looked in to. Luckily unlike you ZOS doesn't require enough data for a peer reviewed publication to notice the trend and looked in to it.

The same way contents of treasure chests aren't determined until you open them. The existence of the node might be shared, but the system could just as easily determine the contents globally, or at the time of harvesting.
Got another Kuta this morning after none for that long and 6 total in two weeks. If Aspect Extraction doesn't have anything to do with it I should be buying lotto tickets.

Have you noticed that I accept what ZO said without questioning their numbers?
If Aspect Extraction has anything to do with it, then let them spell it out, because you don't have access to the tools required to prove it. ZO does. When they test it, they can literally hit a button and look at data from thousands of simulated hireling mails. That's why I trust their methods and not yours.
At no point did I say that ZO shouldn't look in to it or that people shouldn't report it to them (instead of creating a giant, confusing thread for people to spout various conspiracy theories in), but player anecdotes are still not enough to justify saying that there's a drop issue. There simply wasn't enough data just from that, and I'm 100% sure that ZO didn't issue a statement until now because they needed to do more rigorous testing of the system.

My mistake, although, do we know that though? I'm not claiming it does (although I've often wondered, just never wondered enough to actually ask around if everyone sees the same color I do).

So you think it's wrong making others aware of something good?

OK, seriously? I was directly addressing the person who claimed in no uncertain terms that it is bugged. Something that he has absolutely no possible way of knowing. For mechanics that don't involve RNG it's easy to tell if they're bugged - even if the bug is only affecting some people and not others. For mechanics that do involve RNG it's impossible to tell without being able to see the full server stats. He's claiming that it's bugged, so he needs to back that up, and he can't. I only responded to his unsupportable claim, therefore the burden of proof is entirely on him.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.NerfEverything wrote: »The bank bug had nothing to do with RNG.

Seems that this is 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.
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.
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?
Again, though, it's important to note that none of that was directed to you. It's directed towards the guy who is blindly claiming that it is definitely bugged, with absolutely no way of knowing that.
Third kuta in a week after putting 3 points in aspect extraction. After 3 months of getting none. Had 4/4 aspect improvement the whole time
My "continued presence" in this thread you say @ezareth_ESO? Interesting.

@Urquan he did prove it was bug by presenting statistical evidence. Legendary items in mails are NOT rare. As you see many people get then all the time. This person, and myself, and many others however have pointed out that they all stopped getting them withing the same time frame. Statistically that is improbable especially considering the high drop rate of Kuta before the bug.
Added to this there is the precedence of this bug happening in the past in a similar fashion. You're just plain wrong here and your continued presence adds nothing to a thread that doesn't concern you.

The other troll that picked up after you was far worse but I saw by then that the bug was acknowledged by ESO so had no desire to take it up with him.
Any time RNG is involved, the only way you can possibly tell if it's working properly is by being able to see under the hood and look at the the stats for everyone. There was not (and could not be) any evidence provided by players in this thread that proved anything at all. Full stop, end of story. As I've maintained the entire time, the only people who could ever tell for sure if this is bugged are ZOS, because they're the only ones who could look at server stats, see who has and hasn't been getting kuta, and see if there's a commonality between the people who aren't getting them (which would be the only way to have evidence that it's a bug), or if they just have bad luck. If you worked in software development you would understand this.
Any other weeks-old posts of mine that you want to dredge up for the purposes of calling me a troll? Any other threads that I haven't visited in weeks that you want to tell me to get out of? Or are you done making yourself look foolish for a while?
Wait, do you honestly think that taking a course (or several) in statistics means that you can come to definitive conclusions on a RNG based on a handful of cherry-picked examples which can't be verified in any way? Really? Wow.ezareth_ESO wrote: »Looking at serverwide stats means *nothing*. Statistically Kuta have a very high drop rate as evidenced by all of the other people here who have been and are still getting them. To go multiple *months* without seeing a single one is statistical improbability, especially when the first few months he said he got 20 or so. It has nothing to do with *luck* and if you ever took a course in statistics (Which coincidentally I've taken several) you'd know that.

Ah, I see. So first you go off half-cocked without paying any attention to what's going on or, oh I don't know, reading the actual thread that you're posting in. And now you're saying that I'm a troll because I correctly argued that anecdotes from a handful of people out of many thousands isn't evidence of anything, and that the only people who would be able to produce any evidence of it being a bug are ZOS?ezareth_ESO wrote: »My "continued presence" in this thread you say @ezareth_ESO? Interesting. The last time I even looked at this thread before I got a notification that you had mentioned me in it was when I posted the very post you quoted. Hmm, did you happen to notice the date on that? In case you didn't notice, the date on that post was August 20th, back on page 2 of a thread that is now 7 pages long. Please tell me more about my "continued presence" in a thread that I haven't bothered looking at in 18 days...ezareth_ESO wrote: »OK, seriously? I was directly addressing the person who claimed in no uncertain terms that it is bugged. Something that he has absolutely no possible way of knowing. For mechanics that don't involve RNG it's easy to tell if they're bugged - even if the bug is only affecting some people and not others. For mechanics that do involve RNG it's impossible to tell without being able to see the full server stats. He's claiming that it's bugged, so he needs to back that up, and he can't. I only responded to his unsupportable claim, therefore the burden of proof is entirely on him.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.NerfEverything wrote: »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.NerfEverything wrote: »No, it's not bugged. It's a random number generator.

Seems that this is 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.
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.
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?
Again, though, it's important to note that none of that was directed to you. It's directed towards the guy who is blindly claiming that it is definitely bugged, with absolutely no way of knowing that.
@Urquan he did prove it was bug by presenting statistical evidence. Legendary items in mails are NOT rare. As you see many people get then all the time. This person, and myself, and many others however have pointed out that they all stopped getting them withing the same time frame. Statistically that is improbable especially considering the high drop rate of Kuta before the bug.
Added to this there is the precedence of this bug happening in the past in a similar fashion. You're just plain wrong here and your continued presence adds nothing to a thread that doesn't concern you.
ehh I just made it to the second page before I responded and was annoyed by your continued responses in the face of contrary evidence(at the time). I never check the general forums, so when I accidentally clicked it on my tablet and saw this thread at the top I dove right in ( =
The other troll that picked up after you was far worse but I saw by then that the bug was acknowledged by ESO so had no desire to take it up with him.
Any time RNG is involved, the only way you can possibly tell if it's working properly is by being able to see under the hood and look at the the stats for everyone. There was not (and could not be) any evidence provided by players in this thread that proved anything at all. Full stop, end of story. As I've maintained the entire time, the only people who could ever tell for sure if this is bugged are ZOS, because they're the only ones who could look at server stats, see who has and hasn't been getting kuta, and see if there's a commonality between the people who aren't getting them (which would be the only way to have evidence that it's a bug), or if they just have bad luck.
