<DIV>Call it unlucky, call it whining, but I swear I get less lotto wins as a healer. We were killing giants in TS the other night a Bez, Monk, warden and myself templar. I was main healer while the warden nuked 90%. Out of 35 giants I got 3 wins. No chest wins at all. The Bez(most dmg) got almost 50% the monk and warden 20/20% While I about 10%. Just for kicks on the last 2 mobs I nuked my little butt off. Screw the tank(he can stay in the orange!) Guess what? I won both times.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I also have a dirge(high DPS) that wins 40% of loot it seems.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>interesting ain't it. /ponder</DIV>

<DIV>Bad luck. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I win, I lose. I get some good stuff, I get bad stuff.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yeah bad luck. I've had nights that my group complained i won everything, and i pretty much did. Then other nights I'd be lucky if i won 1 out of 10 lotto's. It seems to be purely random each time. With no weighting or bonuses or negatives applied to wether or not you've won the last 10 or not. Each time everyone has an equal chance at getting the loot. </DIV>

It's luck. I was the main healer (Templar) in a group of tanks and nukers, and won 9/10 lottos for a while -- good stuff, too -- they were whining, not declining.

<DIV>For a bit of PR, I'm happily willing to trade items I win in lotto to those that can use them. Yes, I know this sets me up for scams. But, considering the amount of loot I've lost in such trades and the amount of group support I've won in such trades, I'll take the group support. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> A few gold from a rare piece of armor or a weapon I can't use given to a groupmate that is actually helping me to level and have fun is far less important than the satisfaction of my tanks and dpsers in my group.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just my feeling. Of course, I'm not a competitive type. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Halthar</DIV>
Random does not mean an even distribution <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />It's just dumb luck, I've been quite lucky lately actually, won so much on night I felt bad for the others and started declining.I mostly make my own groups though, and I like to do NBG when possible.
