greetings, i have oppened a ticket about this and GM has been zero help.
Since the expansion started i would say over 90% of my rolls are under 40. most of them under 30. either using /roll or even need or greed system in the game, and i mean hundreds of rolls by now, this isnt normal. i oppened a ticket and the answer was and i quote.
”There is nothing wrong with the /roll command, sorry about that. You should try and roll for a few times in a row when not being in group or raid and you will see higher numbers.”
So as a sceptic, did /roll probably over 50 times, had only 4 rolls above 40, almost all of them ware under 30, had atleast 4 rolls with (1-100), went to raid because i need trinket, and in HC rolled 10, in Normal rolled 8.
attached every picture on ticket and im still told im crazy? this is not crazy to me.
Funnily enough, I have two mains, my rogue consistently rolls terribly low and my priest consistently higher. My priest had full tier in the first week and rolled 100 on gaze and 99 on vaelgor in heroic. Mythic+ box and vault consistently bis items. My rogue on the other hand, stuck on 2 tier pieces, rolls single digits, still rocking loads of veteran gear and no trinkets/weapons outside of the crafted stuff. Both characters have done the same content.
It’s become a meme at this point to people who know me especially because I’m often rolling against them and they’re like here comes Chris’ roll.
Now this is realistically just the way the universe works. Random be random - I could win the lottery every week, it’s possible. That said, suspiciously my priest on MoP is always significantly luckier than my rogue, so maybe some janky code somewhere. There’s also the group makeup and maybe just less contention to roll against (vaelgor and gaze being an exception)… oh and eye of midnight
I submited and GM replied “As my fellow GM says, we don’t have any issue right now with the roll system, if you think is is a bug you can submit it”. so here i am submiting it.
Instantly marked as resolved again, makes no sense
Bug reports arent taken over the forums. At the EU side we report bugs using the ingame bug reporter which will not generate a GM ticket but will forward the issue to the relevant department for review to see if they can find an error.
I’m sorry if you’ve had some bad luck lately with your rolls. We’ve all been there when rolling on items that we’re looking for, and I know that it’s not the best feeling when you seem to lose all items that you needed for your character’s progression.
That being said, the /roll system is the same for all players, and if there’s a bug with it, it would affect all players, and not just one person.
Out of personal curiosity, I checked the character that you mentioned in your ticket, and you seem to have avoided the high rolls in your screenshots. Looking at your character’s logs, you performed 30 rolls, which resulted in:
4 Rolls between 01 and 10
2 Rolls between 11 and 20
5 Rolls between 21 and 30
5 Rolls between 31 and 40
6 Rolls between 41 and 50
0 Rolls between 51 and 60
2 Rolls between 61 and 70
2 Rolls between 71 and 80
2 Rolls between 81 and 90
2 Rolls between 91 and 100
That said, 30 rolls doesn’t offer much to work with from a statistical point of view, and you’d probably want to try a few hundred or thousand rolls to see a more reliable trend.
Would have loved to see a screenshot of that but even then it would mean nothing unless you are willing to go further and provide a significantly larger sample size (hundreds of thousands).
