My condolences, it reminds of a time back in BfA season 2… I got 6 weeks in a row a bracers.
Bracers.
Sigh… man those were rough times.
RNG is RNG. 
Better luck next time.
Some people will tell you this is “random”!
This is another example of WNG - Weighted Number Generator!

I agree. There may be a random number generator involved, but if even most of the loot in the heroic loot pool had an equal chance to drop, there is no way we’d get so many duplicates with a truly random number generator.
Something is wrong that is making the RNG not anywhere near as R as it should be.

Some people random feels random… other people not so much. I got an offhand, then bracers, then a 1h weapon. Working well for me so far.
I have felt this way since Vanilla - /agree
That sucks I got heroic weapons for all my alts and 2 other random pieces for each of them so far no duplicates.
True randomness isn’t possible. Randomness is simply not knowing the order of a variety of results.
Ok, napkin math… napkin math!
head, neck, shoulders, chest, cape, wrists, gloves, belt, pants, boots, ring, trinket, weapon.
13 loot slot options.
Just for ease, lets say there are 2 things you could get for each slot.
26 items.
1 in 26 chance of getting Bad Necklace A week 1.
1 in 676 chance of getting the same Bad Necklace A week 2.
1 in 17,576 chance of getting Bad Necklace A week 3.
You are that 1 in 17,576 player.
Feels bad, maybe they should put in a system to say you can’t get the same slot twice in a row from certain things…
So wise…
Not addressing that some people feel for whatever reason some slots/items are being weighted higher/dropping much more frequently than others though.
For instance, multiples of the same item often drop off a boss. Usually an item nobody in our 11 man raid can use BTW.
But go on with the platitudes.
Who told you to do it? Forget once. After 2 times they’d think that you’d get smarter. I bet they’re looking at you and snickering behind their screens.
Items don’t have an equal chance to drop. The drop chances are in fact weighted.

If I get one more Acid Etched Cloak, I’m gonna . . .
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH 
i got 16 terros necks out of around 20 caches in about 3 weeks on various alts. and guess what? i just finished another legion timewalking last night and guess? please guess? terros neck again you say? yup bingo. got it again 17 times.
with that being said the 5 i did on a alt previous to this i got broodkeepers ring. so yes people can say rng is rng but i truly believe there is a system in place that makes trash items like the terros neck have a higher drop chance while other good items got a lower drop chance. making the rng not so rngey when the odds are stacked against the players. all items should have an equal drop chance but they dont.

you did, sorry
When i was gearing up my rogue i was farming HOV for fens dagger, i must have ran hov over 100 times literally in a month … you know how many i seen drop? 0 … i got one in my vault a while later and that irritated me even more .
got teh same item from vault and TW cache first week , it happens . last week got an upgrade cloak , this week Rasz bow . RNG was with me , other times its not . # weeks is not a big sample - it will even out over the expansion - outliers to rng are much more likely to happen over short periods
Same items on all my 5 alts every week. It has nothing to do with RNG at this point. It’s multiple people. It’s obviously rigged. Like super obvious.

5 weeks of Timewalking I got 3 of the same trinket and 2 of the same neck. What makes me feel like RNG is laughing at me even more is that on any given week I would have at least 1 alt out of 5 get the same duplicate items as well.
