Worst luck in EQ

[Splorf22]

So as of right now I am 0-16 on fungi tunic rolls. IIRC,

1 roll in a 6-man group
3 rolls in 4-man groups
12 rolls in 3-man groups

Expected wins: 4.91
Chance to lose every roll: 0.27%

Of course with maybe 1500 active players that means that there should be 5-6 people who have even worse luck. Now's your chance to shine! Well, kind of.

I should mention I did finally get a tunic (when my fellow farmers took pity on me), and a staff, so its not like I'm bankrupt, but still - its a ridiculous streak.

don't worry.. eventually fungi's will be worth as much as a rusty long sword with the way people are farming them ;p

What this guy said.

Yeah seriously, I get bad streaks like that too. I've almost won Publisher's Clearing House like 8 years straight now but just barely missed. Literally, they inform me right before the drawing that I'm a mega-super-bonus-finalist and then somehow I miss the roll at the last second and watch it go to someone else.

It's about time you got your fungi, and I got my $5000 a week for life.

Jarnauga was something like 0-22 on hiero cloak rolls or some absurd number in the 20s

I think worse luck would be Divinity consistently getting 70+ hour ragefire camps

You think that's bad? Back on EQ2 I ran Vault of Eternal Sleeper around 160 times (lockout = 18 hours) to get http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/The_Praetor%27s_Guard. I think drop rate was something like 5% so the probability of this happening is like 0.23%

Don't believe in luck because luck doesn't exist.
Luck is childish.

What a lucky guy to think like that, what are the chances? 0.27%?
