Ok so It's offical. BM Bags are broken. My next question is.....

His problem is that he thinks that since this is computer game there is no RNG cuz (and i dont get where did he got that idea from,prob pulled it from the same place his posts are coming from)computers dont deal with random numbers.Nope,computer cant emulate dice being rolled(hello d&d)it just has some "miracolous" algoritm upon wich comms are being destributed.So he wants to know how ppl cheat on that uber algoritm to get their epixx.

While frustrating, this doesn't seem like a "broken" mechanic. If the drops are RNG, with each bag offering a 25% chance to drop a BM comm, it does not mean that you should be getting 1 comm every 4 bags. What most seem to be experiencing is a case of the Gambler's Fallacy. It's exact same reason why Vegas is so successful. People believe that based on previous experience they are MORE likely to be successful in future endeavors.

In reality, each time you open a bag, it does not take into account previous bags, each opening is totally independent event.

"The Gambler's fallacy... also referred to as the fallacy of the maturity of chances, is the belief that if deviations from expected behaviour are observed in repeated independent trials of some random process, future deviations in the opposite direction are then more likely"

This is all based on the assumption that the BM bags are operating on a RNG system

Holy crap it's been linked twice in this thread.....jeezus...half the people on here dont' even take the time to read before they post..

They just said it's broken and probably favors certain players.

How is that TRUE RNG

Pure Luck doesnt exist in a computer.

it's all based on an algorithm, they managed to **** up a random number generator algorithm.

So im pretty sure they added some kind of MMR(Skill level/time played/against who...) type of values in their formulas. Maybe an equivalent for Valor... but Valor doesnt seem to do anything.

I personally went from Valor 60 to Valor 63 and got 2 Bm Commodations in Over 40bags.. lost count after 40

Which broke the real RNG behind the equation and favor certain people over other players...

YEah I just saw that and read the link. My apologies for that, that was indeed my read fail. I skim rather than read because of the disgusting amount of crying that goes on in the forums with little teeny tiny gems here and there.

So my next question is whether or not anyone can link the post by the Bioware employee that a problem exists where some players have a mathematically better gear drop rate than others, or an indication that they agree that there is indeed an issue where drops favor some players over others.

I believe that's the OP's problem, it's difficult to really tell because the kid has poor communication skills and would rather rant and rage than explain his issue clearly.

So how did the pros end up with Full BM gear asap.

I want to let you guys know i made a post that people were exploiting issues to increase their drop chances and gain loot faster.
