12 years, Blizzard…I’ve been fighting the Headless Horseman for 12 years now, and still no horse. Why must you torment me like this?? Yes, I’m applying the new curses for extra drop chances, but it seems my curse of rotten luck trumps it. Just give me the horse, already!

You’ll probably get it right before they announce a new, high res version.
You will lose your curses if you get hit and don’t follow machines 100%.
Yeah, I’ve been doing the curses only on my hunters because the people who don’t do the hard mode don’t care if they get in your way and hit you with their mechanic.
A deamon hunter jump on my mage and exploded, a Dracthyr carried me over to the middle where the tank was while orange explode was exploding. 
I get sinister squashlings on hard mode.
Even as a healer, I found a way to survive the bonus curse mechanics, even generating enough damage to bring down my spectral echo. It’s not the new mechanics that annoy me…it’s that it feels I’m being spited despite the supposed additional drop chance from hard mode. Even after spending 11 of 12 years fighting the original version, it feels like a Sargeras-sized slap in the face with each passing year. Even more so with this supposed upgraded chance.

I can hear him taunting me…
“Foolish champion!
Time draws the curtain!
My steed will never be yours!
Your fate is certain!”

RNG is RNG. Any % that isn’t 100% can miss indefinitely. Even 99.9999% can miss forever. Would have to be pretty dang unlucky of course but statistically speaking, yes, you could fail every single roll.
I somehow got lucky other night with that mount, wasn’t EVEN expecting it since I wanted Arfus.
There is nothing Random about WoW’s RNG. Explain how some people can get 4 horses and 3 Arfus, Helmets and Swords on classes that can’t use them? While some people can spam 50 alts a day for a entire holiday and get nothing but masks and candy.
RNG or Rigged?

Ok. I’ll explain how that can happen.
RNG.
Has the horse, has had it since the first couple of events back when it started. What I want is Arfus, give it to me, Precious! Many attempts, no lucks.
No more like Rigged. If it were RNG it would feel more random. I got in 7 times today got nothing but masks and candy. Now explain that? No broom, helmet or sword. Just candy and a mask.
If you set up a giant random wheel randomly put each item from the boss on it like wheel of Fortune there is no way it will land on the same set of loot 7 times in a row no matter how many times you spin it. There is nothing random about the loot on this boss.
This is rigged from the start.

Sure, I’ll explain it.
RNG.
I could flip a coin 1000 times and have it land on Heads every single time. As unlikely as that might be, it is still possible.
RNG.
EDIT: Oh and that theoretical loot wheel of yours, yes it is very possible for it to land on the same thing 7 times in a row.

12 years… you must be spiting me or something, Blizzard. 12 years (fully now, as of the end of today) I’ve been fighting him, and once again I leave as a horseless headsman.
“Harken cur! Your luck is moot!
My steed shall never be your loot!
Your fortune says you’ll not be able!
My horse shall never grace your stable!”
(Glares angrily at Blizzard, before drowning sorrow in a pumpkin ale)

I’m 3 days late but this is true, for instance the ashes of al’ar dropped every week 4 times for me.
Have hope, OP! I got my ‘the Hallowed’ meta title in 2008, the year achievements were introduced, and didn’t get my stupid green pony until 2021. you’ll get it eventually!
I hear him taunting me too
“GET OVER HERE YOU IDIOT!”
