Else you'd be saying that for every 10 coin flips there is a 50% chance that not even one of the 10 was a heads. This is basic probability that should have been learned in high school; pehaps you ought to take your own advice and "learn to statistics."
You just destroyed him. It was like rubbing a dog's nose in his own ***** and yelling "NONONONONO"

It's sad when 2 of my companions are fully geared in champion gear and i have 1 piece battlemaster gear. The PVP loot system after rank 60 needs to change. The theory "1 out of 4" should hold a BM Commendation is false, and very misleading. I honestly give this 2-3 more weeks because with this luck it makes me not want to play this game in this state(no not a threat just very frustrating when BM gear is unobtainable).
How easy would you like it to be? It's already ridiculously easy to gear up as it is. God forbid you actually have to work for something.

Do you realize how marginal of an upgrade BM gear is over Champ gear?

I'm not sure who is more entertaining, Esaru for thinking that he knows statistics, or GHeissi for not realizing that the post he originally commented on was a troll. That original troll gets a 10/10 at this point for spawning a comic statistics debate.

When I started the quests, I opened 5 bags and got 4 items... Luck yes, two different feet pieces. Since then, I have received about 30 bags and yet to receive another item. Its all random.
