Drop rate on level 50

[Kianoni]

expect when there's nothing more to expect than a defective drop 10 levels lower with crappy bonus or a regular drop

I can't find my textbooks and the internet wants money to say what I'm talking about, so off the top of my head (ie. this may be totally wrong) an observational function is a function that's inferred from observation of a series of results, such as the expectation operator in such beasts as mathematical Moments. It may or may not be strictly defined.

Anyway I'll shut up now. You win.

On topic, I haven't had a single drop for a 40+ barbarian for the entirety of the left hand side of the XP bar to the other side in level 50. I don't think I'd had one for the previous 3 levels either. On my warlock that I'm actively grinding I get maybe three useful drops a day.

It's not about who wins. I use mathematics every day (I'm a Ph.D. student in astrophysics) and when I see some mathematical misinterpretations, I start to tear remainings of my hair out and I just must react.

The other thing is, that behind the raw probability of looting an item is it's quality. Which is just one, big, stinki... poo.
In my whole life - over 10M exp on both characters total - I lootet like 3 epic items. The highest level one was a level 32 helm looted with... level 36 knight. It was a bit better with magic items. I even found one in a treasure! But anyway, I looted only two useful magic items with level 40+. So, from NGD side, I feel like .
What's interesting, since 1.0.7 update it's even worse. Because instead of an item, which you could just sell to cover repairs/arrows, you receive an OP gem with outstanding +2 piercing damage...

lol, u know what, i don't know about anyone else but i think they did this or something. For the past month i've gotten maybe 1 drop a day maybe 2 sometimes if i was lucky. I started drop grinding for stuff to repair my damaged items during the exp bonus for horus' birthday and i've gotten around 13 drops in 1 day I don't know if I just became super lucky and i should play the lottery now or if it's some random fluke, but maybe they increased drop rate.

Doing 2 hour grind runs I tend to get on average ~4 drops each run

Usually the crap factor hits 3 out of the 4, and the remaining 1 is usually decent. And I honestly think it depends on the mob you are fighting, I don't fight the same kind of mob over and over, I fight 3 different types, and most of my drops are from the same type.

(I'm not complaining anymore though, I just looted my first barb drop after 2 years, it happened to be my level, my taste, and has an empty socket. Dreams do come true! After 2 years time?)
