I say that because that is the answer.
It happens. It will happen. Its random.
well 4 people i know same thing. this op same thing many threads on reddit same thing. just like having random trolls keep replying to you when you asked them to move along is random as well. blocked/ignored. I dont have time for people like you

Okay let’s see your numbers.
On average, running 6 whisper dungeons gives me around 20 million and they take a hour to reset.
Farming helltides is about the same.
Trying to sell stuff online is hit it miss given how badly diablo.trade chat works.
So yea fifty hours of gold farming for a billion while playing the most braindead, easy, pointless content is not my idea of a good time.

Now that he is gone.
Here is some interesting probabilities to put things in perspective.
The chances of flipping a coin 10 times and getting a streak of 10 heads is 1 in 1024.
However, if you flip a coin 100 times it is likley you will find at least 1 streak of heads at least 10 long, about 5% of the time. 1 in 20.
If you flipped a coin 1024 times the likely hood you will find a streak of at least 10 heads is about 2 in 5, about 40% of the time.
1 in 1024 chance to get a 10 streak heads in 10 flips.
2 in 5 chance to get a 10 streak heads in 1024 flips.
Probabilities are unintuitive.

That 12th roll is even more weighted. Every time if you have a bad stat to hit on an item it will hit it. Lucky hit resources on rahmahdnis yep EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!

Did they fix the issue where you had to log out or you’d get the same masterwork result every time? That definitely cost me 10 million.

Wait what?
I hadn’t even heard about this.
Patch Notes:
- Fixed an issue where resetting Masterworking on an item would not function properly if the item had been reset and the player logged out soon after.
That sounds related.
My guess is that Masterworking stat might have exactly the same weighted RNG as enchant affixes, meaning, certain (like envenom) might not be worth to even try hitting more than once. On the other hand, i seem to hit Max Life all the time.
Edit: it might be just easier to get 4 GA than 3 crits, same as enchanter, everyone says to not try reroll bash on pants, but i still did xD and hit it finally.
Of course it’s rigged. They want you in the game. So on a 5 stat item it could be 10% good stat, 10% good stat, 10% good stat, 35% meh stat, 35% meh stat. You get a meh stat you stay in the game longer getting mats and doing the process over again.
I mean if it’s equal probability across the range then Blizzard should have no issue coming out and saying exactly that because this is a huge irritation for a lot of players of this game.
blizzard only caters to the people buying gold almost like they double dipping on RMT

that’s very probable to be honest. I think valve did something similar in the past.

A simple fix for that is to allow us to refund 1 tier and get all the mats back. That way, all we spend is gold.
i mean how else are these gold sellers getting the gold or boss mats! if its a blizzard employee they can just spawn gold and items in

I do have to question the “Random” part of RNG after my experience with tempering. On any weapon, ring, amulet for 2 characters I was wanting to add just pure Damage %. Not any damage % to distant, or close, or crowd controlled. I had a 1 in 4 chance. Often I would take multiple items to temper at a time and the odds were really a 1 in 20 chance (i.e. bricking multiple items in the process).
I could say that day was just bad luck, yet it keeps happening over and over. Numerous times taking multiple items to temper for dmg % to end up bricking. Part of my frustration is that I would assume that I have a 25% chance, yet reality is showing me I have a 5% chance. This is not “Random” what I am selecting, but something weighted at a different odds than the other choices. This makes me *$&# as it should at the very least be either documented, or fixed.
As for enchanting an item to change the affix? I gave up on that a while ago. I just get any affix that is “good”, roll it some more and select no change, then cap out when the gold cost starts to become idiotic.
i got ga bash legs and reseted it like 10 times already. weighting is so bad it’s impossible to crit skill affix even twice. probably someone at blizzard thought people will get addicted to it and roll till the end of time, but actually i felt incredible stupid and just left it at +6.
I think devs should disable MW reset button. Players must accept their fate. 
The RNG is definitely off in some aspects. Nothing like getting 5 out of 6 Tempers that are Health on hit…
I also heard that you should log out after you reset your masterwork. Might work, might not.
I just want to add insult to injury by saying that my non-GA Shako, masterworked to 9/12, both crit at 4 and 8 at CDR. First try, no resetting.
