I am totally frustrated with random drop system.
For example, in Fissure there is a chest which drops nice items - always reserved for other players..
Won HoH yesterday. I was the leader of the team (#1). Guess if I got sigil? Of course, not. WTF is going? let every to have nice items. What if we win hoh again and i wont get any sigils? What is the point of it?
Im just wondering which team member gets items most often.
Never going to be #1 again...

Well, first you say that your frustrated with the random drop system, then you say you will never be #1 again. If you think its random, why are you trying to rationalize it. Its random, the way drops are assigned are...randomly! No memeber gets it more often.

What if you win HoH again and get no siglis...then I imagine your going to be even more irrational and try to do something crazy like dye your gloves puse because you heard somewhere that it helps the drop rate!

Its random, over time played youll get yours.

Random? Dont tell me that. I hold degree in CS. I know how the random() works. It isnt random at all. THATS THE PROVEN FACT. Open Knuth's Art of Computer programming and see for urself. And I figured out that #1 has less chance to get drops. All that is left is find out which number gets most of items.

Anet would not make it so one number in team would get more than nthe next. It is completely random. Thw world is not out to get you, you'll get your chance at drops someday.

This one made me laugh hard. Ok, if its a PROVEN fact I challenge you to prove it. If it is not random, then there is a system to which you could strategically act so that you would get more drops.

I agree with the fella who said you should get your money back from the school you 'claim' to have attended.
