    I would try running dungeons with friends, so you can discuss who gets loot.

    Well there seems to be really only two possibilities at work here.

    Either, You just have rotten luck and are simply on the wrong side of completely random forces. Or the game was coded specifically so you, and you alone, are intentionally denied. For reasons, still yet, unknown.

    Feel free to pick the more reasonable explanation here.

    If you're doing all greed runs, you still only have a 20% chance of getting the drop. The RNG just hates you... :(

    I do share runs with my guild. The leader gets the drop, sells it off, and then splits the profits evenly.

    Everybody wins.

    Im willing to wager there is a, slight to obnoxiously high, level of exaggeration on the OPs part.

    I sympathize, but maybe you should cut back for awhile. If you just run during delves, random chance shouldn't be as big a problem, no?

    16 runs, how is it possible?

    Actually this is interesting, I did greed runs with some ppl, and in several days, did around 15 runs, same person won the draco loot 13 times and the good necky from 2nd boss, whilst rolling very low for everything thats not worth much.

    Could be dumb luck, but i sure know i aint running with that person again.

    what do you mean "how is it possible?!"

    there's 10 epic loot that can drop off draco, each with the same chance of dropping. roll a 10-sided die 16 times and see how many times each number gets rolled. that's right, it's completely random.

    and also will you make up your mind?

    did you get a drop or did you not get a drop off those 15 runs?

    I find the most fair thing to do is sell the dragon drop and split the money. That way people can buy the dragon drop after a few runs regardless of what the dragon actually drops.

    Maybe combined with if someone needs the dragon loot he either gets it for free or at a discount.

    That's good for some guild (small ones with all the people friendly with eachother) but for pugs is just nonsense, you run 5 times CN a day and you get 1 drop on avg, and make 300k easily each day on avg, that's how it works.

    7 "greed" runs with pugs. Never won anything. Stopped bothering.

    Well if the roll result is not generated server-side than this could be hacked. Of course no company's development team would be so utterly incompetent as to leave such important adjustable parameters client-side in a MMO, right?

    Oh wait......

    The best one I got was an item worth 25k. We had a 1/4 run for 4 times, 2 times it dropped an Ancient Slavemaster's Ring of Control worth 250k. Never got it.

    If you're doing all greed runs, you won't have this problem, it's all random. I would assume people are needing and greeding left and right with no consistency. Also, unlock the chest and have a chance at a little something for once. You won't get the ancients, but you can get good stuff.

    There is actually a timing of rolling to make yourself 'luckier'. 20 consecutive runs of draco made in the day. All greed roles on last boss (even though we're all in the same guild), he won 16 of them.
