"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Either bad luck or the possiblity of overfarming resulting in decreased loot quality. The latter is only my speculation.

pure bad luck, i've got it too =/ been lightbringer points farming about 3-5 times with 2 guildies and rest of party heroes, and currently I've gotten the least golds and most purps, i believe 2 of the runs i only got purples while guildies had 50-75% golds (we use about 5 keys per run)

NEVER chest run with a friend! It always looks like you get less than them! This usually happens to me...kind of annoying. When I opened chests on my own when I was going for Elonian GMC I had 7 or 8 golds in a row...quite surprising.

I'm really surprised someone hasn't posted with the usual 5 word post... "It's Random - Get over it". Seems to me to usually be a chronic mistake to post about chests in this forum since that's usually the response people get. This is just an observation.

I am also the king of bad luck though, so I'm with you...so annoying when you buy a load of keys and seem to get an enless amount of purples! You Start to think...What's the point? Thanksfully now there is a point! That point is the extra 3% chance to not break per tier or the treasure hunter title. Finally gave me a reason to go for Treasure Hunter and Seeker of Wisdom.
