When you get 3-4 of the same item instead of 1-2.
Imagine if everyone who ever experienced rng made a thread about it

Idk it got me 2 legendary bow drops from sylvanas instead of one or none. Which was convenient since i was running it with my friend. We both got one!

I got 6 bows that dropped, but no mount … 5% increase is really not that much , you can actually go 100 or more kills
What are the odds of that happening?

Actually this is kinda proving the long held theory that the game’s “RNG” is actually an illusion and the game has a preset pattern to the drops which checks what you already have. I say that only because when you get 1-2? a few times? RNG can be claimed. A repeat? Just Bad luck. But when it happens in sequence up to 3-4-6 times? That’s not “RNG”. That’s “The game was told to drop this item by system.” There was no “6” RNG rolls. A single check was made for what you had and what you did ‘not’ need.
Suspected it for a while, but this has been a thing across different characters. So it’s not RNG, but rather how the system was designed. RNG was just the term they used to make it seem like you had a chance vs. the House. While Mounts I am sure are separate rolls since something had to be tweaked, loot is definitely not RNG. It’s fixed and probably snapshots what you have and gives you it multiple times even if you don’t actually need it. Can’t have the horse getting the carrot on the stick ‘too easily’.
That’s why we’re seeing people get the same item 4-5-6 times on drops and often on different characters.

roll a 20 sided die. If it lands on six, twelve times, make a thread.
I mean yeah you can get 4 of the same item, but it’s still double the rolls at least. I have been liking it so far. Even if you get 4 of the same, still stuff to vendor at least.
I don’t know. I am liking it so far. Got 1 of the mounts I wanted after a more than reasonable amount of attempts. The extra junk is good for transmog and vendor purposes.
I’m not talking about the 5% increase. I’m talking about how bosses drop like 8 items now. For transmoging it is annoying when I get 4 of one item and 3 of another.
