I keep getting purples of the same set

I am wondering if why I keep getting purple recipes of the same set over and over again. They are not duplicate of the same recipe but rather one of each in the set! So far all I'm getting are Coersive Persuasion and Hecatombs. I have 5 of each of the sets. Rarely do purples of another set drop for me. Why is that? Is that pure luck or something else is going on? This happens to me before too but I didn't get the entire set before I realize something is odd happening. The only thing that I can think of is...maybe I have some of the recipes like one or 2 of Hecatombs and Coersive Persuasion sitting on my recipe tray that might lead to this? I'm not making sense I know but I'm just boggled as to why I consistently get the recipes of the same set that's all.

Borked RNG?

Of my last 7 purple drops, 5 were Absoulute Amazements /*shrug

Mine seem to fall like that. I can't tell you the last time a Rag or Arma fell. BUT, the cheap crap ones i get all the time. lol. Maybe it has something to do with the mobs. I fight the same mobs all the time and i seem to get the same type or purps.

Interesting. My drops have seemed quite random, except for one stretch where I got 5 from the same set . . . Absolute Amazement. However, this was quite a few months ago.

P.S. I wasn't displeased about it since they were dropping on my farm toon, a fire/kin, who could actually use them.

Thats how random numbers work.

If you ask a human to write down a series of random numbers, they'll make little decisions like "oh, I just did two 3's, better not do another one". A Random number generator doesn't do this.

I remember hearing about some tests where people were given number sequences froma RNG and from a person trying to look random, and asked whioch one was produced by the RNG. They typically got it wrong, our brains are really good at noticing patterns in random data.

So statistically, someone's going to get drops from only two sets, rather than a more even spread across the board. That person just happens to be you, BeLikeWater.

To the ones that seem to think that getting the same purp is cool just because it's a purple: Try getting all of the Confuse and/or Sleep sets, that sell for less than some white and yellow recipes. It's not cool, and it don't help just because it's a purple. lol.

Luckily, there's an ingame location where you can sell them and buy different ones.
