(LVL 98) I noticed this, its now over 2 weeks i dont drop any of the aspects i am wearing and i need to upgrade, dungeons, map, obols, helltides. No matter what, everything drops but the ones I need, whereas at lower level i could find loads of legendaries with the aspect i use (nothing rare, just usual necro stuff) i was saving loads in the stash and i used them for several upgradfes until before i noticed this. Is this purposedly done? I hope not
No, it does not. There are over a hundred aspects kn this game (?). Now take a dice with 1-100 and try to roll one specific number. It can be your first roll and it can be your 1000 roll.
I just tested something, i removed the item containing the aspect I wanted and started to farm for that, and after farming 900+ obols, the first purchase set, magic! I got one, after maybe 2 weeks of nothing, Coincidence?? Maybe, but I am pretty positive now there is an algorythm that limits drops of aspects we have in use. Same as the fact that devs do shadow gameplay modification patches on the fly, whithout telling the playerbase, which sucks. The beauty of always online servers anbd devs that didnt learn from the previous game.
Yes coincidence. Or at least there is no reason at all from just your test to believe it is anything but coincidence.
There are biases at work here (not in the game but in your perception).
People are terrible at “feeling” and instinctively understanding statistics and chance.
Something like this can only be proven by a significant number of tests. 1 certainly isn’t significant in this case.
What you are describing perfectly fits the RNG mechanics of this game and there is no reason to believe this is an anomaly.
the op… you alright, mate? sure you´re not having a stroke?
Just asking opinions, piss off. You aren’t funny. I see you keep being rude in many of your comments, grow up.
My chest full of + 2 Skelly and +2 Skelly mages aspects suggests they most definitely do drop just as frequently as any other
Ppl keep coming up with these superstitions in loot games it’s funny. Whatever it is you think is happening is your brain playing tricks on you.
go to Whimsyvale click on 3 happy clouds run 7 circles around Kadala and tell her she’s a pretty lady ? Aah chucks a bunch of yellows again
Yes very funny, but I was probably playing “loot games” as you call them, when you were but a concept ( for instance i have 4K+ hours in d3 and as much in poe) and i know exactly what can be and has been put in code before in ARPGS, MMOS etc; anyhow i’m not talking about low level, at low levels you get a lot of drops, but its just my personal experience at high level on aspects im currently wearing and its not that I didnt test, to get to 99 takes a LOT of farming. I didnt put this post to be mocked by clowns, just asked an opinion if anyone feels like that. Thats all.
Not sure if the pre-nes/ master system area had many loot-based games . But yes I can see your point. You seem very mature. Bless me with your wisdom o great sage of the ARPG
That is NOT what you asked
That is what was written and I answered that my stash tabs are proof that it’s not the case at all but you chose to ignore that bit.
Your stash tabs (hear hear) are irrelevant to me. I already said i had tabs full of aspects i picked at lower level, but since i passed 85/90 the drop rate of such aspects (the same) just froze. I dont really care about your tab that probably comes from low level farming and most importantly, i dont need to discuss with somebody immediately mocking me because i ask something perfectly normal and politely on a forum, for this reason, I am done talking to you
This is mocking:

Grow up.
most of those are ancestral items I have not removed the aspect from but sure bud. here sa tinfoil hat. Make it last
You see you dont even know what you talking about? You can drop and wear ancestrals at lvl 60 and you can be boosted to be in T4 already at much lower level if need be so you could already pick them up even if locked and you can have aspects (and affixes) rolled with exactly the same values on rares or ancestrals legendaries (one of the ridicolous scaling problems of D4). I am talking 85/90+ . So please, be quiet and level up, Once you are high level well discuss your experience. Politely.
I am not mocking you (in case it came across as such).
But your tests don’t provide enough data to come to any conclusion. What you are experiencing doesn’t seem out of the ordinary at all (though maybe a bit unlucky).
No, you arent, other guy is. And yes, I agree, but after playing up to lvl 99 I seen a HUGE flow of items with the aspects i need for the necro up to a certain level, around 80, and after they just stopped dropping, infact after i depleted my reserve of aspects i dropped earlier and saved in stash (people dont feel the missing drops because they have aspects in stash from previous levels), i now find myself without the possibility of changing items around because i dont have the aspects and im stuck with the same items i had at lvl 80/85. Still acceptable, but my customisation and improvement of my character grinded to an halt at around 85. Maybe unluck, possible, surely i wasted some aspects on testing, but now i do map content in minutes (you know, map mobs are completely irrelevant past level 70+, unfortunately…) so drops are much more than before, and i do fly trough NDs 50/55, yet, aspects dont drop. Just bizarre, as bizarre as the shadow gameplay patches dev push trough without telling to playerbase, such as last week i could solo any kind of dungeon lvl 60/64 at level 90ish and now at lvl 99 i cant finish some level 60, my survivability dropped and onehit kils are multiplied, same identical build (for the reasons above). And thats a fact. the beauty of always online servers…But, unlike D3 and its huge issues at start, this is really annoying me already, helped by the loot scaling which sucks and no social features at all.
Assume makes an ass out of u and me buddy. maybe relax a bit.
Just stating facts, unlike you.
I think you watch too much youtube especially actman or whatever he is called 
he said same thing
but everything he said about d4 was very bad take
and his video is him contradicting himself.
I donnt watch any youtube, and i dont know any actman, this is just my experience and what i feel after playing enough to have formulated an opinion based of facts (lvl 99). besides D4 is dying, and pretty fast also, unless the whole dna changes… Mark my words. And I am a 4K+ hours D3 player, far from an hater of the franchise.
