Caribou77✭✭✭✭✭Every notice how you get the same gear sets in consecutive streaks when you're chest-farming? Like, if you're in Vardenfell, you'll get a Defiler item, next chest: Defiler item, next chest: Defiler item, next chest: Warrior Poet, next chest: Warrior Poet, next chest: Warrior Poet, and so on.
What the heck is up with that? That's not "natural" RNG.0 -

Either it's just unbiased prng properly used just happening to give apparent streak. Human brain is very good at recognizing patterns, even when there are none. Or every time a sequence of random numbers are needed the prng is reseeded with a seed which occasionally changes, which would be incorrect use and could cause streaky results. I expect it is the latter but there is No way to know without keeping a list of every drop with time and location and analysing data to find evidence for more streaks than expected from random. Or looking at the code.5
