Profession 100% success chance failures

in Bug Reports (PC)
I know people in game have talked about this, but I can't find a thread. I was collecting items from my delivery box and I had three fanged necklaces today that were failures. For each one of these it shows a 100% chance of success. Has happened on multiple characters, but always when I have items on 'timer' and collect from the delivery box.

    Look at the actual numbers, are you 900/901 or similar, in which case it may be a rounding error (you're 99.7 and it's rounding to 100 for display purposes type thing), if you're over the proficiency required, screenshot it, it's a bug.

    Were they +1 items that failed? Could be a Focus failure.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    I have had 100% prof failures where proficiency is far above the required mount. I figured they must have capped your percentage chance of success at 99.51, rounded to 100 for the purpose of display. Or as others have mentioned in different threads, the mechanics are just twisted and broken in such a way that Focus determines your actual proficiency and success chance despite what you see as your proficiency percentage. The flow logic in checking for success and +1 (crit) not being logical.

    Ok, but.... 99.5% chance of success, with a .5% chance of failure, the probability of 3 failures overnight is extremely small. The probability there isn't a bug is even higher if it's true this has happened multiple time across multiple characters. An isolated failure at 99.5% is unlikely, but of course possible (.5% chance) but multiple failures in a row is unlikely in the extreme.

    The RNG is ridiculously streaky, I've thought for a long time it doesn't generate a new one or uses the same seed again in some circumstances.

    I've had obscene runs of stuff, 24 deliveries overnight, all 90-92%, the failures ? all 6 silk cloths for example. I get runs of miracle worker every day that I should be seeing much less frequently, and the same with runs of failures.

    I'm consistently getting around 80-85% from low 90s% chances.

    When you see 100%, it may not mean 100%. It may mean it rounds up to 100%.
    I had a "100%" failed but when I looked closeer, it was something like 595/596.
    Other than that, I don't have any other "100%" failed.
    I only craft/gather at 100% so far for 12 toons doing profession.
