Cursed or general Barb problem?

I've noticed that when I run Bh's or FB's, I tend to get the least amount of drops in squad...
A couple of days ago, I ran 2 FB19s, 2 FB39s and my own 3 BH59s. At the end of all runs, I noticed that I had picked up a total of 2 DQ drops, a stamp and a bracer. And the same results applied to every other BH and FB ever since. It's really starting to bother me, because I lose about 100k per day to repairs, while not making any money. b:cry

Of course, theres always the option of asking the rest of the squad for "donations" at the end of the run, or settling the "barb gets first, cleric second pick" thing, but I dont do that when running with guildies, and when in random squad, most people tend to run for it before handing an item over.
Enough complaining. My basic question is: am I the only one, or do other barbs have the same problem?

    Sometimes I do feel like I get less drops than those in squad. Like when I do BH Warsong Metal, I rarely get an item there.


    But, its probably just us making ourselves think something is up, when its just pure bad luck. <___<

    Well im almost the same, even grinding nonstop for 3hours yeah is a long time, i rarely cut even with my repairs and im suppose to be grinding for coin, im not aoe grinding tho. then i would go in the negative with coin.

    Also in bh's and fbs i also dont get much drops some times i dont even get, only pots. not to mention mold drops, only got 3 ever and that was on my alt account. ( got 4 chars above 80)

    But i got my fist bm funding my barb lol she makes way more coin and lower repairs

    Well, its "about" 100k, depending on wether I play on a weekday or weekend. During weekdays, I usually only have time for my BH's and maybe a FB or two. And I help out a lot on world bosses and such. One BH run ends up in about 12-15k repairs, and doing 3 or more results in round about 45k in repairs. On the weekends its even worse.

    And concering me being unlucky: Im gonna go and jump off a bridge now... b:pleased

    I tend to notice I dont get that many drops either. *shrugs* could be coding, I was in a BH59 before where this one Sin got every single stamp that dropped (5 of them).

    I think that it is a general barb problem. Clerics that I know have the same issue.

    Based on what I have seen, I do not believe that "random" drops are truely random, "everyone has an equal chance", but are modified or weighted by either strictly damage dealt or damage taken versus damage dealt. Probably does not include HP because clerics seem to get fewer drops but veno's do not.

    The higher the level difference, the fewer drops, but in BH squads there may be also be an average squad level modifier to determine number and type, but distribution definitely skewed.

    A GM could possibly tell us more if they know the programing.

    As it is, part of being a barb. :)

    One FF run and 146K repairs. The very next run: 78K repairs.

    As far as random drops go...sometimes it works in your favor, most of the time it doesn't. QQ and move on, it's not going to change.

    could be luck or real bad luck, but when a drop molds or flawless/immaculate or books drop I have high chance of getting that, when bosses drop DQ or white stuff item i rarelly get that part of loot.

    Running FC's my barb got 2 gold weps, 2 gold ornaments and i never seen anything else drop in here so i got it all ( greedy eyes ) lol.

    But in BH's and stuff yeah, my normal drops are usually **** ( like 1 out of 25 DQ drops, no 3* or molds )

    But shrugs...the gold FC weps make up the small DQ drops that i don't get :P

    I think it's just luck. I've gotten some pretty good drops before, but it's a bit rare. I.E., I missed quite a few three stars last night but did manage to get a good mold. And for the record, I never ask for a drop from others unless I tabbed or someone offers it to me.
