Incredible Streak of Luck?

I know every so often someone stumbles in here questioning the randomness of drops, so I guess I get to be that idiot for this post. My last four rolls at the merit vendor have been:

Miracle +Recovery
Eradication Quad
Miracle +Recovery
Numina's +Regen/Recovery

Also, in 24 hours of a lot of playing (mostly CoT and Rikti in Percy Winkley and Montague Castellena's arcs), I have had only one orange recipe drop--and that was a respec recipe. Probably 75% of my drops have been temp power recipes, which I know several people have mentioned.

Salvage drops seem pretty normal.

So, should I just book a flight to Vegas and maximize my lucky streak, or do you think something could be less than random about Pool A/B/C/D drops right now--perhaps in preparation of market merge?

Yep

Last night in the space of 15 mins. I got two purple drops., one from a COT mob that immobilized my fire tank in the Portal Corp Parking Lot and caused me to fight him (Was in SJ not CJ).

The other from the single mission I ran on her.

Streaks are part of randomness.

That's because one of the devs has personally adjusted your drop rate.

(Seriously, we had someone in here claiming that.)

THAT'S CUZ YOU GOT ALL MY LUCKEE ROLLZ

... actually, out of 18 random rolls late last week I got one Big Three and two LeapStealths, so I'm doing fine. Maybe a little below average, but I've had my streaks before.
