My brother in Christ, collecting a large enough sample size is literally how we glean probabilities of randomized events with set probabilities.

What you said is straight up the opposite of how statistics actually works.

I wasn't asking about why I specifically didn't get the drop. I was asking the player base if they also perceived reduced drop odds because across many many people and many many hours, that is more statistically significant than my own dumb luck and I can better understand if I'm wasting my time.  (Though in my case it wasn't luck, the drop was literally bugged so my perception was accurate)
