Across multiple characters at multiple levels I’ve been able to predict what items the vault gives based on what items I currently have.
Today I opened my third Stygia vault. I had 3 slots with potential Ilvl upgrades, and all of them generated the exact item I was currently wearing in one of the two slots where it wouldn’t be an upgrade.
This occurs across all 6 of my characters that I earn vaults on. I’m averaging about 1 item upgrade a week across all characters with approximately a 70% predictability of what’s in the vault.
I can’t be the only one. 750 stygia is NOT a reward for pushing m+ and raid content all week.

Was only able to do 1 M+ this week (ERCOT Texas power issues). Got the exact 226 boots I got last week.
If we weren’t so dependent on the vault for upgrades I wouldn’t care as much. But alas we are. I’m mostly at the point where I need vault upgrades or mythic raid loot to progress.

I have attempted this. I even took ti all off and logged out. I don’t think it’s based on what you’re wearing, I think it’s based on what you own.
The RNG generator Blizzard uses is frustrating at times.
I remember coming to the forums every week for the drop from Pandaria and affirming that yes, yet again, I got pants. Every. Week.

I don’t think it’s random. It’s too predictable to be random number generating.

Have you tried putting it in the bank?
I have. I even put my gear in void storage last week.
I can’t lie. I’ve stood there and hit /roll until all the crappy 5-100 rolls were out of the way and then opened.
Or did a /roll and if it was less than 80 I just didnt open the box… I may go back to that.
Whatever drop I get in content for the week, 90% i get that slot in the vault as well.
Why would you only open it after using up all your luck?
You’re right, OP. It is rigged. By me.
I have your loot, and if you ever want to see it again you’ll need to wire transfer me 600,000 pesos, and a catalogue of photos of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s feet. I do not know how you will obtain these pictures–I do not wish to know. That is for you to figure out.
Godspeed.

Its not rigged, because why would it only happen to some but not all?
The possibility that its flawed to the point of bugged is absolutely credible though.
The problem is, no one ever takes this serious.
Even now, you are typing this, but we just have to take your word for it.
Why not provide pictures of this happening, to PROVE there is an issue?
If everyone who had this issue actually compiled the facts, there might be able to be a serious discussion about it.
Otherwise, its just bad luck, with no interaction possible on your part.
Predict something better ,then.

One time for 3 weeks straight, I received the same trinket and last week I had the option for…another (different) trinket.
So this past week, instead of d/e that trinket, I put it in my bank - just in hopes of a different vault outcome.
When I opened the vault just now I received the option for a new 210 chest piece or a 203 head piece!
Happy days! 
I just want a 200 weapon without farming PvP for one. Oh well… Warriors really need them to advance in DPS…
It seems a bit weird to me that it has no bad luck protection built in. People faced similar problems with Legiondaries, which Blizz deployed a fix for and all was good. Surprising that they didn’t learn from that.

vendor/DE/destroy the gear before opening the vault, this way you don’t own it and can just buy it back or use item restore on it
I’ve gotten an upgrade every week. maybe not BiS, but usable none the less.
