Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Loot System.

I'm sure im not the only person having this,. but im starting to feel like my account is cursed.

Trying to get the skoria helmet,. over 200+ runs,.. 3 helmets while drop rate is 1:10 approx. so where are my other 17 helmets. i understand RNG, but 3 helmets in 200+ runs how bad can my rng get, this goes for most dungeons for me 1:30 seems my avg drop rate across all dungeons, and always a weight and/or trait being wrong.
My GF on the other hand her drop rate is like 1:5 per run of a dungeon.

Soo i saved up 100 gold keys for new 2.1.4 patch,. i get 2 shoulders that could possible be good, 2 that are absolute useless and only junk items for the rest my drop rate 1:25.,.
My gf,. 1:3 set shoulder from gold chest.

Crafting writs,. took me over 125+ max level crafting writs to get 1 recipe fragment for the new xp pots,.
Skinning 1000 fish for 1 roe,.. refining 1000 raw material for 1 legend upgrade item,. and it goes on and on and on,.

Now i understand the randomness of RNG 1:10 doesn't mean 10 drops from 100 runs,. but "luck" can increase/decrease this value,. but being unlucky on every aspect/table/drop system in the game being far beyond what should be possible,. yes flipping a coin 100 times can result in 100 heads and 0 tails,.. but the odds of that happening are realisticly almost 0.

So what is going on? how can my luck be so bad over a period of 6 months and my GF's be so good?

    Have you bought any crowns or have ESO Plus?

    See if that suddenly increases your odds....

    This what a khajiit told me to do.

    I have bought crowns, and have subbed from most my time playing.

    You are cursed. I don't even bother trying to play the RNG game, RNG always winz. Waste of time.

    I hear you. I had that luck with the recipe fragments.

    Roe, I was pretty much on average. A friend ran so many pledges trying to get the Skoria shoulders (he already had the helm), he almost gave up.

    Sometimes the RNG hates you.

    I've been on the hunt for the rest of the ebon set on v12 dungeons and I've killed at-least over 70 bosses in the last two days and have yet to acquire another piece aside from the one I got almost a week ago.

    RNGesus why has art thou forsaken me!?

    I feel you man. Over 50 runs in CoH and CoA each and no helm for either of them. Not to mention that I have never gotten the skoria shoulders till they added them in silver key loots and pulled a horrible trait on them. I understand they are supposed to be rare but not like this. I even watched the healer on 2 consecutive runs last week when CoA was the gold pledge... not only did he get helms both runs but also pulled a set of shoulders for valkyn as well. Come on ZOS this is becoming to much.

    I read the patch notes for a game I play primarily instead of ESO right now. Even F2P games have a scaleable system in place to reduce streaks of bad luck. ZOS is really behind and we've been complaining about it for years (since closed beta in 2013) now.
