You understand that the answers to these questions are calculations, right?
The odds are whatever they are. That's what I'm trying to tell you. You, Hudson, are the experiencer of a multitude of one-in-a-million events on a regular basis in Destiny- merely because there are millions of people playing.
You have to understand... the implicit argument you're making is that if this stuff
didn't happen, if you received only one MIDA Multi-Tool, 1 Ghorn, 1 Thunderlord, 1 No land beyond, 1 Dragon's Breath, and fusion rifles with a different perk each time- that
would necessarily be more random. Does that sound right to you? Random gives you everything you want, in equal distribution?
*shrug* Monte Carlo is my "locked drop" too
I've gotten 7.
Except for the "seemingly random" (you're saying it explicitly does NOT seem random), of course it could. Any nonrandom scenario could be concocted to drive the experience, instead of a random one. But again, what's the actual evidence that this is the case? Why does your individual experience make this setup more likely than actual randomness producing the same results?
You're absolutely right- this is human nature. It's almost impossible to avoid, actually.. pattern recognition isn't just a pasttime for human beings, it's a survival instinct.
Let me ask you this: the fact that most everyone more or less seems to have a story like this- the fact that most anyone, at command, can produce an anecdote of unimaginable odds- does that make you feel more confident that it's not random? I'd like to be able to make my case more cogently, and I know there's an angle I haven't looked at it from yet.
