The PRNG used by cryptic is flaky --- we saw it in neverwinter too -- it has long streaks of similar values. So if say loot is a roll from 1 to 100 or whatever, you see it roll 1-5 a dozen times in a row (batteries!) or you get 10 shields in a row or whatever. You see it all over, from failing 1/2 your DO missions (assuming a low fail rate of under 20% each) to getting 20 food items in a row. It can pay off nicely too, I have gotten an entire hold full of ship shields before.
When you get "stuck" try waiting 5 min, it usually clears up after a short time.
